The entire trip of 2,000 miles (3,220 km) starts in the tropics of the Northern Territory, in Darwin and leads you through the red desert and Alice Springs, all the way to the green and plentiful province of South Australia and its capital Adelaide. The trains are comfortable and equipped with a dining car; many off-train experiences at stopovers are included in ticket prices.

The Bijilo Forest Park is most known for its inhabitants - it is home to a large population of monkeys, many of which do not mind interacting with visitors. Beware of unsolicited offers of being guided through the park, as the premises are safe and rather easy to navigate. Remember to bring peanuts, the monkeys' preferred treats (these may also be purchased on-site).

In the heart of the austere and monumental Victorian grandeur of Adelaide's official buildings, you will find the Art Gallery of South Australia. It houses nearly 45,000 works of art spanning 2000 years. From paintings, prints and drawings, photographs and videos to sculpture, textiles, ceramics, jewellery and furniture. It's a vast collection, which covers Aboriginal art, colonial and modern Australian, European art, and much more.
