Relive the history of the Old Ghan Train and Central Australia’s pioneering past as you wander through the Old Ghan Museum. Explore the old train and carriages to learn about the legend that is the Old Ghan Train – one of the most famous railways in the world.

The original narrow gauge railway is closed, but 10km of the track has been preserved for the Old Ghan.
