Desert Springs
The Ghan makes a 3,000km journey from Darwin to Adelaide, with the mighty wheels kicking up the red dirt of the Australian Outback as it travels straight down the middle of the country.  

It's a once in a lifetime journey, but it pays to be prepared. My tip for any visit to the Outback is to invest in a fly net for your head and shoes you don't mind coming home covered in red dust! #LifeatExpedia

I'm in the Northern Territory working with Travel Freedom on two tours; Mulgas Adventures and Emu Run Experiences. Both have been fun and affordable products that showcase the best of this destination quickly and affordably. Our guide Chris has been one of many guides I've had in this part of the world but he's shown me heaps of new spots, taught me things I didn't know AND he dug up witchetty grubs for those brave enough to try them! 😱😱😱

Gillen

The restaurants and sporting events are just a few features travelers like about Gillen. If you want to do some sightseeing nearby, Araluen Cultural Precinct and Royal Flying Doctor Service are a few top places to visit.

I asked for ground floor, near pool if possible and quiet. I was allocated room 207. The night was very quiet. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed was extremely comfortable and enjoyed a great nights sleep. Dinner was quick as a flash. The only negative was my not so cold JD RTD for $13.70. ...
