Kangaroo Island, The Ghan, The Alice, Darwin - an Aussie adventure

Starting out from Adelaide, join The Senior and Travelrite International next September for an exploration of our continent's vast and remote interior.

What better way to travel than on The Ghan, a rail journey lasting three days and two nights.

Before boarding there an opportunity to check out Adelaide and then head to Hahndorf, Australia's oldest German town, in the Adelaide Hills.

The next morning travel to Cape Jervis for a ferry ride to Kangaroo Island, one of the world's great nature reserves known for its wildlife, remarkable landscapes and burgeoning food and wine industry.

Travellers will be able to sample wine, cheese and gourmet food native to the island before exploring Flinders Chase National Park and stunning rock formations such as The Remarkables and Admirals Arch.

There's also a tour of Seal Bay and its sea lion colony.

Back on the mainland, at McLaren Vale you can taste the local wine then head to Victor Harbor for a ride on the Cockle Train at the mouth of the River Murray and step aboard the historic Victor Harbor horse-drawn tram across the Causeway to Granite Island.

Back in Adelaide the group boards The Ghan, renowned as one of the world's great rail journeys, and the ultimate way to watch the outback go by.

Alice Springs, the red heart of the country, comes into view after lunch the next day. We'll experience "The Alice" with visits to the Royal Flying Doctor Base and the National Pioneers Women's Hall of Fame.

The evening is spent back on The Ghan, relaxing as the train makes its way north to Katherine, often described as where the outback meets the tropics.

You can choose from three different excursions. And of course no visit would be complete without a cruise down the Katherine River to marvel at the huge rock formations of the gorge towering over the calm waters below.

Back on board, it's on to Darwin for a late afternoon arrival.

Darwin has evolved into a vibrant, dynamic and modern capital city so, if you haven't visited before, you're in for a treat.

Sightseeing starts with a visit to Crocosaurus Cove for an up-close look at some of the largest saltwater crocodiles in captivity.

Other places of interest include the Chinese Temple and lush Botanic Gardens, and the historic East Point Military Precinct.

The tour winds up with a farewell dinner.
