The quarter mile long Ghan train begins its journey in Sydney, Australia. The documentary opens with a tour of Sydney's most attractive features - the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. As it leaves the city it passes sites that recaptures the Australian Pioneer Age during a two-day journey deep into the continent's Outback interior. The travelers on the Ghan can appreciate historic Australia as they traverse the Blue Mountains en route to Adelaide before turning north in the lands of the old frontier. Here, Australia's deep red center reveals itself as a huge expanse of ancient nature, a land of parched rivers, unique wildlife and ever-changing colors, before arrival at Alice Springs, where the majesty of nearby Ayers Rock serves as an unforgettable climax to an amazing journey. Three kinds of accommodations are available on the train. Each has its own lounge and dining facilities.—Garon Smith
