Day 1

Darwin and Katherine

You board the cool, air-conditioned comfort of the train in Darwin and depart mid-morning. Soon after pulling away from the platform there is time fora cool drink or leisurely cuppa, before a beautifully presented, modernAustralian lunch is served along with a selection of fine wines. The famous Top End township of Katherine is the stunning and much anticipated stop where you can enjoy a number of Off Train Excursions that take in the cultural significance, Indigenous and early settler history and of course, the simply spectacular natural beauty of the region.Departing Katherine in the early evening, more stories and experiences are shared with fellow travellers before dinner and then followed by more socialising and perhaps a nightcap.

Day 2

Alice Springs

After a comfortable night’s sleep, you awake in the remarkable Red Centre. Soon after breakfast, arrive and disembark in Alice Springs.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
