Inaugural Ghan to the Never Never Journey
March 2007 saw 17 intrepid travellers board the Historic Ghan railroad for a journey to Darwin - then on into the Never Never country of the Northern Territory.
We retraced the epic journey of Jeannie Gunn who travelled from Melbourne to Darwin - then south bound to Elsey Station by train, horse and buggy and sometimes on foot, over a century ago. Her story is well recorded in her classic tome - 'We of the Never Never.'
We met the Aboriginal land owners of Elsey Station, swam in clear springs , witnessed the Wet Season at it's best - and stayed in classic bush accommodation.
Due to the overwhelming response - the trip will be run again in 2008.
See some photos of the journey below...
