Farewell to the Ghan.

Breakfast was called brunch today, as it didn’t finish until 10 o’clock, so after waking a little later , we wandered down to the lounge car to await our call into the dining car.

A very lovely rainbow was appearing on the right hand side of the train , and I managed to get a snap of it.

The landscape had changed from the red dirt of the outback, to the outer suburbs of Adelaide...we were back in civilization, or the “big smoke”
Brunch was enjoyable, and we finished with our usual  cappacino  in the lounge car.   Then it was back to our cabin for the last pack up, and be ready to disembark.   This time it was on a platform, so no stairs to be negotiated.

A coach delivered us to Adelaide airport , we checked in, found the Qantas lounge and enjoyed lunch  whilst we waited for our flight back to Melbourne .    There were not many travelers, I don’t think I’ve seen a plane so empty for many a long year.

Just a quick flight back, luggage collected, Andrews transport waiting for us to take us to their depot where our car was waiting for us.  

Home safely, tired and worn out, but thoroughly enjoyed our holiday through the Centre of Australia.
