Look, the Ghan is about to leave ... (1)

The Ghan is a passenger train operating between Adelaide and Darwin (passing through Alice Springs).
The Ghan, it's an odd name for a train but in Australian history it is a living legend.
The service's name is an abbreviated version of its previous nickname The Afghan Express,

The journey by the train is a dream for many people, not only from Australia and
takes 48 hours to travel the 2,979 kilometres.
