Because we had travelled by bus from Adelaide to Alice Springs, we had to travel on the famous Ghan train from Alice Springs to Darwin. The train ride took 24.5hrs and stopped off for around four hours at a place called Katherine. This gave us a much needed break from the train and an opportunity to walk round the town of Katherine. What a strange place, the town was very small with speakers all around blasting the local radio station out! Very few people were around as it was a Bank Holiday in Australia. The train itself was actually surprisingly good, the seats were spacious with every two carriages sharing a lounge and dining carriage.
