Dino Scungio
Dino opened a travel agency focusing exclusively on tours and travel within the Northern Territory in 2000. When The Ghan began travelling all the way through to Darwin in 2004, this iconic train journey became an important component of the agency's offering. From this "bricks and mortar" base, Dino expanded with the launch of the online travel agency, ntstandby, in 2006. A pioneer of the online tourism industry, ntstandby specialised in train travel and were recognised as experts in the field. This has now led to the creation of Great Trains (2018) a website and business that provides passengers with all of the information they need when they wish to book and travel on The Ghan, Indian Pacific and Great Southern.
Dino has travelled numerous times (ten to date) on The Ghan, Great Southern, Indian Pacific in Red Service (when it existed), Gold Service in Single and Twin Cabins, Platinum Service and even the Chairman's Carriage and can therefore, from first hand experience, answer any queries you may have.

A long term resident of Darwin, Cyndee is an absolute expert in providing the right advice for anyone visiting the Territory. Cyndee's committment to quality service in unquestionable.
