Here's a look at our journey, what this all-inclusive experience is actually like and two very BIG reasons why this trip was so special to me. Let me know in the comments: Would you do The Ghan?

  • Happy Birthday Phoebe 🎉🥳 what a way to spend it. You are 1000% right about ticking off the things that you really want to do before it's too late. Great video again guys 🙂
  • Great film footage & you are so at ease in front of the camera young Lady. I’ve done the Ghan & Coober Pedy …. I asked my wife & kids “who wants to do this absolutely amazing Aussie adventure with me on the Ghan & Coober Pedy ?????” Sadly they all stated that they wanted to visit Las Vegas. So I did it all by myself …… and I loved every single moment of it !!! Sometimes you need to shoot for your own stars, rather than following others dreams. Nevertheless life is good … how blessed are we Aussies to live in this glorious country and in this moment of time ??? I’m a very proud Aussie Veteran & I’m thrilled to have been able to have proudly served my wonderful country. God bless kiddo !!!

    From this old boy from Perth WA; Have to say one of the best vlogs I have seen on the Ghan 1/10/2023 👍
  • Thank you for this video and your comments, two of us will fly next Wednesday from Sydney to Darwin and explore Darwin for a few days before boarding the Ghan. I am 85 years old, I always wanted to do this trip on the Ghan before I depart.

    I would 100% want to percent to ride The Ghan one day! SO BADLY! The food, off train excursions, landscape, and the stainless steel carriages from the 1960s-1970s, The Ghan is a train I would love to do, and see the beauty of Australia in every possible way!

    Thank you for opening up, I was really moved by your auntie's story! It brought me to tears. I'm sure she's really happy that you and your mom made the wish come true!! Happy Birthday!!

    Thank you for talking about your aunty. I'm sitting here wiping tears from my eyes because I'm sort of going through a similar experience. My dad is in his 90s and I have no idea how long he has left. He has always wanted to go on the Ghan, so I've quietly mentioned to my brother that we should do it. Hoping Dad hangs on for a couple of years, so we can get the time and funds together and have a family trip.
  • Hey Phoebe I forgot to mention that I had similar experience with my late mom RIP. She always wanted to go to Austrailia . and kept putting it off. Never got to go. My first trip to Australia was a tribute to her . The places she wanted to visit. In memory of your Auntie and my Mom. 🙏🙏 They will be forever connected. Sending you lots of ❤️ Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond Va
  • 🎂Happy Belated Birthday, Phoebe. I have just booked this journey for May 2023 to have my birthday on The Ghan in Coober Pedy. I can not wait to go on the Off-Train Experiences. Thanks for telling us your heart-felt story about your Aunt.

    What a great video, thank you Phoebe! Next May I will be traveling from the USA to Australia. I’m actually flying into Brisbane. Definitely have to make my first stop Australia Zoo. I’m coming down to ride the Ghan in both directions, from Darwin to Adelaide. Then the following day boarding for the northbound track from Adelaide back to Darwin. Then, catching a flight from Darwin to Sydney, and taking their sister train, the Indian Pacific from Sydney to Perth. Spending the night, and then the following morning boarding the eastbound train from Perth all the way back to Sydney. Before spending some time in Sydney and visiting some friends in Melbourne. Before I fly back to America after about 25 days. I could think of no better way to experience you’re a great country. Thanks for the look into the southbound trip of The Ghan. Can’t wait to experience this for myself.
  • I did the ghan a few months after you, in October. Same direction too. Was such a privilege doing that same first excursion. Was amazed by the whole experience on board and off board. It was not just the highlight of that trip to oz but also my whole life. What a special reason you had to do the trip. My aunt had a similar experience with cancer. She knew I’d missed going to my brothers wedding due to Covid and it was my promise to her to do something special in her memory - this was it. It really touched me how lovingly you spoke of your aunty - I’m writing this with tears running down my cheeks. And wasn’t the telegraph station meal just such a brilliant evening!
  • Beautiful Phoebe, thankyou for sharing your story and promise to your Auntie. It was truly beautiful ❤️

    Happy Birthday. I did not expect this train ride to have an itinerary like a cruise, So wonderful.
