First Look at The Ghan Gold Service Cabin 

Greetings from The Ghan Expedition, traveling from Darwin to Adelaide!

I’ve just boarded here in Darwin and we’re off to our first stop in Katherine.

I wanted to do a quick tour of my Gold Service sleeper compartment.

The cabin is equipped with a seat for 3, with a flip up table on the wall.

On top of this couch is the first of two sleeper bunks. This one pulls down from the wall and creates a bunk effect with the lower couch sliding out into the second bed.

Waiting for me in the room were 2 bottles of water, a trip guidebook, Greath Southern Railway magazine, off train excursion guide, map and also 2 lanyards.

Now, the bathroom is a sight to be seen. There’s a sink, toilet and shower, all within a cramped space. Effectively, you could use the bathroom while brushing your teeth and taking a shower at the same time. 🙂

The bathroom is stocked with towels, toilet paper and toiletries.

Here’s the view looking back towards the hallway. On the left, behind the door is a small closet with a safe.

At the end of the carriage is a coffee and tea station, both of which are complimentary throughout the journey.

That’s a quick tour of my cabin, which is where I’ll spend the next four days and 3 nights as we go from Darwin to Adelaide.
