SURPRISE!! As my Indian Pacific video is almost hitting 500,000 views, I spent $7000 late last year and booked a trip on the Ghan Platinum Class to travel from south to north, from Adelaide to Darwin, from the city to the wine regions to Flinders Rangers to the Red Centre, then through to the tropical Top End. This is definitely a once in a lifetime experience!! So please sit back, relax, and let me show what this 3 day 2,979km journey looks like!
This video was filmed from 31 October 2021 to 2 November 2021,
