    Although the both of you definitely enjoyed the journey, I guess you could say your iPad very much didn't 😂. Yup, the Outback sand is quite red! This is because Australia happens to have a perfect environment for oxidation. This occurs in rocks that contain high amounts of iron. In this type of environment, these rocks actually begin to rust. As the rust expands, it weakens the rock and helps break it apart. The oxides produced through this process give the ground its reddish hue. And that telegraph station you saw played a role in the founding of Alice Springs! Although the Arrernte people have lived in the area for at least 30,000 years, Alice Springs was established in 1861 by John McDouall Stuart during an expedition through Central Australia. Originally called Stuart, it was renamed Alice Springs when the Australian Overland Telegraph Line repeater station was constructed. Playing a key role in connecting Darwin to Adelaide, the telegraph line was completed in 1872, spanning 3,200 kilometers! So both The Ghan and the telegraph line are incredible feats and truly show that anything is possible as long as you believe and never give up.

    Hi Jeb Suzanne. Great editing and video. I'm a Locomotive Engineer in NZ. Most of my fellow Locomotive Engineer mates Male Female jumped ship 20 years ago to Australia and ended up driving the Ghan . Up front 2 of them do 12 hour shifts and retire to their mobile home behind the Locomotives. Everytime they're back in NZ they always visit me trying to convince me to join them. Unfortunately I find 11 hours max driving our own trains around NZ is enough let alone 56 hours in a straight line. If anything I would like to explore the rail trips around Alaska as a few of my colleagues say that is a great railway journey to experience. I enjoyed your video and finally would like to say NZ has a great view of Railway journeys that might interest you. Take care and you never know, I might bump into you guys on our NZ Railroad Journeys. Go safe , good health. Wayne.

    Thanks Jeb and Suzanne! The Indian Pacific is the one on my bucket list, but The Ghan also looks cool so this video has made me add it to the bucket list too! Shame you didn't get to explore Adelaide that much because it's quite the interesting city! Adelaide was named after Queen Adelaide who was the wife of King William IV, but the Kaurna people called the area Tarntanya which means "red kangaroo place". Surveyor Colonel William Light was charged with surveying the city layout. The result was unique, the world's only city within a park, which it still is today. Surrounded by 900 hectares of parkland! The Adelaide terminal of The Ghan and Indian Pacific didn't open until 1984! It opened to allow Australian National to vacate the main Adelaide railway station. In 1997, the Australian government sold Australian National's passenger operations to Great Southern Rail, which is now Journey Beyond.

I really envy what you and your wife get to do and I hope I can reach that point in my life with my partner where we get to travel and see sights we would never think too see.

Its a very comforting thing to watch. She's planning on coming down to visit in late may and Im going to book a small commuter train for us so we can go visit the next city over. Your love for travel and trains is truly beautiful and I want to thank you for bringing that comfort and reminder of that time I shared with my lady. Much love and respect for you and your wife.

And loved all the off train excursions!! I did the Simpsons gap excursion in Alice springs stop and it was so beautiful. I also did the helicopter tour in Katherine and it was my first and was amazing ! Thanks for the nice and informative videos. I am a fan and subscriber of your videos!!

    As an Aussie I agree. I have driven across Australia and up North. Gets a bit old. I couldn't do this train trip. I would be bored out of my mind. But we all have different interests. But then I have driven up North to a really remote location where you took a satellite phone and beacon it was that remote. For a female it was a bit scardy if I'm honest.

I’ve got one more third “bucket list” trip planned - to complete the trip now that the line is built - Alice Springs to Darwin. This time Platinum! It’s one of the most amazing train experiences….❤ Great video.

    The Ghan (and The Indian Pacific) has been on our bucket list radar for a few years now. Was going to be a "birthday ending in zero' trip in 2021 but covid intervened. This was a great travelog Jeb, I got a good feel for the trip from watching you and Suzanne experience the 3 days. Being a kiwi, I appreciate how different the red centre is, to what I'm used to living everyday. You will have noticed the extreme difference too, having travelled both countries recently. Desolate, yet peaceful and at times, provoking. Thanks for doing what you and Suzanne do.
