Top 5 unmissable journeys by rail

Here are Lonely Planet Traveller magazine’s top five ways to get on board. 1. The Ghan, Australia: the luxury rail ride The Ghan crosses the high bridge over the Katherine River in Australia’s Northern Territory. Image by Paul White/ ImageBrief. The Australian outback is a place that’s hard to grasp: a vast, ill-defined area mapped by Aboriginal people not on paper but in song. The train is the Ghan, a long-established service that runs up (and down) the centre of Australia from one coast to another on a three-day trip of almost 2000 miles. On the northbound route from Adelaide, plains and russet mountains cede to the arid red centre, the outback’s heartland of cobalt skies, rust-red earth and haphazard fistfuls of scrub. The journey’s periodic stops are a chance to get off the train and into these landscapes, from guided walks to helicopter rides.
