Melbourne to Alice Springs and Uluru

7-day Australian rail trip on The Overland and The Ghan to Uluru

Illustration of Melbourne to Alice Springs and Uluru

Railbookers runs this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package across Australia, built around two well-known trains. The trip starts with The Overland, riding through the scenery of Victoria and South Australia from Melbourne to Adelaide, where travelers can explore the vineyards that the operator calls the foodie mecca of Australia. From Adelaide, The Ghan carries travelers north to Alice Springs, and the route then continues further into the Red Centre for a night near Uluru. As an independent rail package, the trains and hotels are arranged, but there is no guide leading the group and no fixed schedule of excursions beyond what the description mentions. It suits travelers who want the experience of two of Australia's classic long-distance trains combined with a stop at Uluru. Prices start from 3,849 US dollars.
