In April of 2012 The Ghan will make a special journey from Darwin to Adelaide. ‘The Ghan’s ANZAC Tribute’ is a four day commemoration of the glories and sacrifices of the Australian Armed Forces during the Second World War.
The journey encompasses a series of special events including a visit to the Adelaide River War Cemetery, a traditional Dawn Service in the outback town of Katherine and a journey aboard an original ‘troop train’ through the picturesque Flinders Ranges. This is a unique chance to reminisce with mates, make new friends, listen to guest speakers, performers and senior military personnel and learn of the historic links between The Ghan and the Australian Armed Forces.
Enjoy the comfort of a Red Sleeper, Gold Service or Platinum Service cabin while the magnificent Australian Outback glides past your window. Bask in the unrivalled splendour and culinary delights of the Queen Adelaide Restaurant and the Outback Explorer Lounge. The Ghan’s ANZAC Tribute will be a journey to remember.
For every ticket sold, Great Southern Rail will be donating $100 to RSL. Prices for the three night/four day journey start at $2,354. For more information or to book, call Great Southern Rail on 13 21 47.
