So what did you think of Alice?
So boring
I live in Perth Australia and there is another train that travels from Perth to Sydney, stopping at Adelaide and the Blue Mountains. It is called the Indian Pacific. My friend wants to travel on that train and your video has helped me see why we should start booking tickets! Also I just saw they have single rooms!!! yay!
I rode on The Ghan in 2004 when it just opened from Darwin to Alice springs, excellent 👍🏽
It's OK that you do your best not to video other holidaymakers, but it makes it look deserted and unappealing
First of all we Australians dont use pounds as weight Nor do we use mph. Did you do any homework before coming into our Country ?
My mother did this trip last year at 80. I insisted she go Platinum as in Gold you have to hover over the toilet to shower plus bunk beds for her and her friend? I don’t think so. 😂
A great watch guys well done
Positive commentary from the man, but wow the woman was super passive aggressive. She's not my cup of tea.🙄
The train is awesome, bit the scenery is not. I prefer the Canadian train
It looks to be an amazing train. Loves your vlogs ❤❤❤
So cool that you have expanded to international trips post-Covid! Have you booked the Orient Express yet?
You should do a watch collection video. Love the Tudor in the Canada video as well.
Just added The Ghan to my Bucket List 🙂 Thank youuuuuu
As a Canadian, I love Australia I took a flying trip around the country, Tasmania and New Zealand This video was very interesting by train
As an Australian boring – coz there ain’t nothing out there. Well done but there is a reason why people live mostly on the coast. I’ve always wanted to do this but I have always though this is overpriced and not as good quality as what you could get overseas. Being Australian I don’t mind the barren landscape- but I don’t think i would want to pay an arm and leg for it. A good 4 wheel drive would suffice up the middle. I just don’t think this experience would match what you would get in Europe. So I never heard them go wow love the food.
Did they fix your iPad after it broke or was it not their fault?
1900 miles…. That’s a long track!!!
Awesome
Looks like parts of New Mexico or Arizona ……a bit far to go when almost all that is here can be found in the US… trains seem like a bit of a luxury Prison …..this one for three days! 😳 Claustrophobia ensues…..I’ll enjoy from the comfort of my recliner thank you 😁
I travelled on the Indian Pacific from Perth to Sydney back in 2006. I was travelling in my own, in one of the cabins, with all meals included. IIRC I paid about £700GBP.
I bet it costs a lot more now!
Your videos are lovely! Would it be possible to provide the price of your trip at the end of each video? Multiple currencies would be great!
Food looks awful, scenery dismal.
Golly, I really loved this video until the anti-Disney comment at the end. 🙁
You ate a kangaroo 😢🇨🇦
Crazy spacious for a sleeper cabin on a train car
Snowtown ? YIKES!
A super trip.❤
Where do these two get the $ to travel like that?
Why is it we just can't see a video without ALL that back ground music noise?
WHY DO THE BOTH OF YOU CRITICIZE SO MUCH?YOU SHOULD APPRECIATE WHAT NEW THINGS COME TO YOU..😊
Expensive AF. I'd rather do the Orient Express
THANK YOU for showing the menus in the video! Love it!
This couple is so positive, I cannot imagine. Show them a poop, they would say what a nice and gorgeous looking poop. Kudos guys!
This is very interesting. But there was no stop to explore Uluru?
south australias proud to not be settled by convicts, and the rest of the country is proud to not be south australian
Alice springs, stabbing capital of the world
As an Aussie🇦🇺, thank you for an honest and entertaining review of The Ghan. We have travelled from Perth to Adelaide on The Indian Pacific and had a very similar type of trip. This wet our appetite to one day do Adel to Darwin on The Ghan (platinum for sure). Cheers to you and safe travels. 😊
its pronounced the GARRRNNNN not GAN like can
Your videos are amazing!! 🎉🎉🎉
So you were the annoying couple who disrupt what has to be a small yet gourmet kitchen operating at sub-optimal conditions for fine dining, unlike a fully staffed and equipped a la carte restaurant, because you are hungry and can't wait another half hour to eat with the grown ups … (let me guess … filming is discouraged to maintain privacy for others not wanting to be on camera understandably … so you asked for "special treatment" early lunch) or you really were just hungry …
