with Charles and Elsa Chauvel.

Charles and Elsa continue their journey across Central Australia by rail, travelling on the Ghan Train which runs from Port August to Alice Springs. The railway follows the route once taken by the Afghan camel caravans, which used to bring supplies to Central Australia - hence the name 'The Ghan Train'.
