A great way to really get to know Australia is to travel from Adelaide to Darwin. The easiest way to do this is to travel on the north-south transcontinental railway, the Adelaide-Darwin railway. The Great Southern Rail offers reasonable fares from Adelaide to Darwin and vice versa. Take the Ghan, which offers you great service, regionally-based dining, and comfortable accommodation. Off-train journeys are available in Alice Springs and Katherine. However, if you are hoping to spend more time exploring, you can opt to break your journey at Alice Springs. The staff at BBM has picked out their top 10 things to see from Adelaide to Darwin.
