Private Service
Your own exclusive private carriage
For the ultimate great train experience, travel in one of the exclusive private carriages available for charter on The Ghan, Indian Pacific or The Overland (Adelaide-Melbourne). For little more than the regular fare, you can share the experience in luxury with family or friends.
