Journey Beyond, the presenting partner for Tasting Australia, has invited foodies to get a taste by train with The Ghan Experience at the festival hub in Adelaide’s Town Square (Victoria Square/Tamtanyangga).
Visitors to Town Square can experience the outback with The Ghan Experience. Throughout Tasting Australia, The Ghan Experience is an opportunity to showcase Journey Beyond’s commitment to going further and taking travellers beyond.
Visitors can immerse themselves in a sensory experience with the sights, sounds, and scents of this famed journey, capturing what the experience aboard The Ghan is all about. On board, guests gain insight into the incredible Off-Train Experiences on offer, including the scenery of Outback SA, a sunrise in Marla, the charm of opal mining town Cooper Pedy, or the breathtaking Kanku Breakaways. This first-person perspective evokes the thrill and wonder of embarking on this adventure for the very first time.
A visit to Town Square would not be complete without a visit to the Journey Beyond Lounge with views across Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga, VIP vibes and plenty of room to relax, sit back with a refreshing beverage and soak in the sights, sounds and aromas of the bustling Town Square.
Guests should also not miss the opportunity to chat with the knowledgeable staff from the Journey Beyond travel centre. The staff can guide visitors through one of Journey Beyond’s extraordinary experiential travel journeys across Australia. Guests can also find their Outback Spirit with a six day ‘Lake Eyre and Flinders Ranges Spectacular’ tour taking in the beautiful outback enigma Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre as it floods or stay wild at Monarto Safari Resort.
“Central to all Journey Beyond experiences is our passion and commitment to taking guests beyond the ordinary and creating unforgettable moments,” Journey Beyond executive general manager of rail, David Donald, said.
“On board our iconic trains The Ghan, Indian Pacific, and Great Southern, our commitment to exceptional food and wine experiences elevate the travel journey.
