From Ocean To Outback

South Australia is where easy going charm meets world-class experiences, offering everything from vibrant city life to sweeping coastlines and unforgettable wildlife. Adelaide sets the tone with its thriving food scene, festivals and laid-back coastal energy, while nearby wine regions like the Barossa and McLaren Vale invite you to sample some of the country’s finest wines amid rolling vineyards. Hop over to Kangaroo Island just a easy 30 minute flight from Adelaide, to find pristine beaches, iconic wildlife and unforgettable natural landscapes. If you're searching for a taste of the authentic outback venture to the Flinders Ranges an easy 5 hour drive north of Adelaide passing through the Barossa or Clare Valley. Marvel at the   million year old mountain ranges, join a safari style tour and encounter native wildlife. It’s a destination that blends culture, nature and indulgence effortlessly, giving every traveller a taste of Australia 

The Northern Territory is where Australia feels its most timeless
and untamed, blending rugged beauty with deep cultural roots
in a way that stays with you long after you've left. In the Top
End, tropical Darwin sets the pace with its relaxed waterfront,
vibrant markets and welcoming local vibe, serving as the
perfect launch pad for extraordinary national parks. Kakadu is Dual-UNESCO-World Heritage site, is a breathtaking world of
dramatic escarpments, vast wetlands teeming with birdlife and
ancient Aboriginal rock art that shares stories tens of
thousands of years old. Nearby, Litchfield National Park
delivers accessible waterfalls, seasonal swimming holes and
towering termite mounds, offering the kind of refreshing,
close-to-nature experiences travellers love. Head south into the
Red Centre and the landscape transforms again, revealing the
iconic silhouettes of Uluṟu, Kata Tjuṯa and Kings Canyon, where
sunrise, sunset and starlit skies turn the outback into pure
magic.

Australia is home to some of the world’s most iconic rail journeys, and none are more legendary than The Ghan, the transcontinental route linking Adelaide to Darwin through the very heart of the Red Centre. This remarkable journey carries you from the lush vineyards of South Australia into the vast ochre desert, past the rugged MacDonnell Ranges and onward to the tropical Top End. On board, it’s all about slow-travel luxury: elegant cabins, regionally inspired dining showcasing local produce, and attentive service that turns the trip into an experience in its own right. Along the way, immersive off-train excursions—such as exploring Alice Springs, cruising Nitmiluk Gorge, or watching the outback come alive at sunrise—bring each region to life. Together with its sister route, the Indian Pacific, which spans Sydney to Perth across the Blue Mountains, goldfields and the sweeping Nullarbor Plain, The Ghan proves that in Australia, the journey can be every bit as unforgettable as the destination.

Outback Spirit invites you to experience Australia’s rugged heart on small-group, fully accommodated journeys that penetrate some of the continent’s most remote and culturally rich landscapes, from the ancient floodplains and sacred rock art of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory to the vast red sands and dramatic ranges of South Australia.
