I stayed one night in Adelaide and caught the Gahn, another train which connects Adelaide and Darwin via Alice Springs. The journey takes three days and two nights one way to cover a distance of 2979km with a speed of 85 km/hour. But I only stayed on until Alice Springs. The train goes twice weekly in both directions, is approx. 1km long (including 2 Locomotives and Motorail) and can accommodate up to 500 customer.
The town of Alice Springs straddles the usually dry Todd River on the northern side of the MacDonnell Ranges. The region where Alice Springs is located is known as Central Australia, or the Red Centre, and is an arid environment consisting of several different deserts.
In Alice Springs, temperatures can vary by up to 28°C and rainfall can vary quite dramatically from year to year. In summer, the average maximum temperature is in the high 30s, where as in winter the average minimum temperature can be 7.5C.

The symbol of the Gahn is a camel and its handler in recognition of the pioneering Afghan cameleers.
Aren't they the most wierd-looking plants? 
The car parks in Alice Springs are under umbrellas to protect the vehicles from the sun.
