A massive thank you to everyone’s kind donation on GoFundMe, I hope you have enjoyed this long video! 😊
great content!
hi Rory...so when is the best time of the year to travel up to Darwin on The Ghan..?? as I'm watching this I'm thinking that a rail trip for next year would be nice..unfortunately a platinum class cabin is way out of my price range..do you know what class is the cheapest for a solo traveller..?? as I'm on a pension I know I can get free rail travel within Victoria but as this rail company is a private company I doubt they have concession prices..I've never been to Darwin, let alone the Northern Territory..would be nice to mark off my non-existent bucket list, chuckle..
on my travels around the US I had gaitor whilst in Florida...they marinade it in orange soda...very nice...
@@grandmasmagic3858 gold class solo cabin is the cheapest $2165. there is no concession as it is not a subsidised service. the best time to go to darwin is during the dry season (May - Oct) however towards the end is high humidity. good luck!
thanks for that @@lancelotyu1638..I need to contact my travel agents..that price seams within my bounds...
it is like you are there. That's how detailed he is.
Journey Beyond should be paying you a commission on this video . You've highlighted in every possible way what a great train journey the Ghan really is. Well done to you, you've excelled your usual informative and entertaining videos, with this gem of a production!
Thank you 😀😊
I totally agree. Beyond Journey should pay your Platinum class fare. The singing waiter was very entertaining 🤣. Thank you very much. Safe travels on the rails.
Good afternoon. I notice you use two different camera's. You said, one was a go pro. The other seems like a Sony? Correct? Excellent train videos. 😄🚆
@Ralph Reilly - Bribery? How was Rory bribed when he paid in full his fare? Look up the meaning of the word, bribery or to bribe someone, as into doing one's own bidding that is unlawful.
yea i totally agree this was really well done, and felt like a top production travel tv show
As always, great train review Rory. This is definitely one of those journey that most people can only take on TH-cam, so I am glad that you were the one to show me around
I used to live in Alice Springs. It was certainly an interesting experience.
What an incredible journey! It's astounding to think that one train trip can take you through diverse landscapes and climates. The Ghan is truly a testament to the resilience and innovation of human engineering. How has the railway influenced the stops and the communities along the way? It's remarkable to think that this luxurious experience is a product of the interplay between nature and human progress.
43:00 the music actually made me cry out of happiness. Great video, amazing job!
This has to be the benchmark review of the Ghan ..
Excellent flow of capture and narrative really good review...
Thank you!!! I’m glad you liked the video ☺️
Roy, I am stunned. Firstly, the length. I thought it was only about 40 mins, but no, it's double that, and most importantly, unlike some youtube vids on travel which is long just because they show the view out of the window for an hour of the trip, every single second was an actual video. Definitely worth the wait, but still, can't believe your dedication to youtube, $7000 is a lot of money, Keep up the beyond excellent work!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked the video 😊😊😁 it is a lot of money but if the video is popular it’ll be worth it for me 😊
@@RoryDing, By the way, your channel's profile picture was changed to that of the Indian Pacific a few months ago, and I mean, you spent seven times as much money on this trip, so would you change your profile pic? How about you hold a poll of the community page!
😂 but I still think the Indian pacific picture is better than the picture I took on the Ghan
@@RoryDing Congrats Roy, this video passed 100K views!
But seriously guys, this amazing dude deserves around 2.41 million subscribers and this video deserves 10 million views, COME ON GUYS!
Anyone thinking of taking The Ghan or Indian Pacific should watch your videos, they are the absolute best, I loved them both, thank you
Thank you for this lovely and very informative video about the GHAN Platinum Class. I am now even more so than before, looking forward to our upcoming trip on the GHAN.
Rory, no THANKYOU for doing this trip and not making it 20mins long, of course we watched till the end it was better than a blockbuster movie! Every detail you showed, all the information you included and the cinematic filming and editing (new camera looks like it did a fantastic job) this was definitely a highlight on your channel and a once in a lifetime experience. I am honoured to have contributed via go fund me and the enjoyment you have repayed us with is priceless. Cannot wait to share this with my Family over Easter. Thanks again you did a brilliant job👍
Thank you so much for your support over the last 12+ months!! Really appreciate it ☺️☺️
Right, I live in Darwin, and always wondered why the trip was so expensive! You have shown me it's not just a trip, it's an experience and I now look at the Ghan in a different light. Thanks for an amazing documentary showing people what the experience is like. And what this video will not show you is how amazing the outback is. You will never never know, if you never ever go....
Yeah that’s true!
This trip allows you to travel across country in style, but to grumpy experience the outback, gotta go on another trip yourself!
It’s so expensive to go to Darwin return from anywhere.
It's a curse ship on wheels. Which is a shame because it makes it too expensive for anyone who isn't a cashed up tourist. It's a shame Journey Beyond Rail owns, the Gan, Indian Pacific and the Overland because before they were privatised they were a regular trains that was actually affordable. At least the long distance Queensland trains and the XPT service haven't met the same fate & remain a service that people can actually afford to use.
It does seem rather expensive…..seems like there only interested in attracting the Wealthy and Privileged in Oz Society??
My favourite video. I especially loved the morning sunrise stop at Marla. The bonfire, coffee/tea with a sweet and bacon/egg roll. Beautiful.
Thank you 😊
Rory, you did very well as a food critic. The way you described the meal. Platinum seems the most comfortable. Thank you for making the videos.
I liked the overview of Adelaide; it adds context to the journey. And the detailed meal reviews help the viewers understand how the gourmet meals contribute to the luxury experience.
Thank you!! Hope you enjoyed the video 😁☺️
Rory, after watching this you have inspired my wife and I to save up for this trip, via Platinum, as you. It'll take quite a number of years (need to save roughly $15k for train, flights to and from Sydney, and spending a few days in Darwin), but it'll be worth it for this once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for bringing it to us, and thank you to your members and GoFundMe supports for helping you make it happen.
And thank you for your support too! 😊
It definitely is a once in a lifetime experience, i hope you could do it one day!! ☺️ also I think $10-$12k would do!
@@RoryDing I'm including a few days in Darwin with that budget :) I'd probably do it in reverse to have the outdoor BBQ dinner in Alice Springs, which, AFAIK, can be part of the Alice Explorer expedition.
That sounds good 😊
Save yourself a boring 3 days and go do a rail journey somewhere else...not at all worth the hype.
bro don't save several years for a train ride that's ridiculous
15k can get you so much more if you spend it exploring the country
We have the most beautiful country in the world. Maybe I'm a bit biased but it truly is breathtaking..
Yep just crazy its so big , a lot of nothing inbetween which can be cool but can send you a bit loopy at times
Every detail collected in this magic video. I believe this was the most popular request because most can not afford such a journey and you have allow us to come with you instead. Getting there 24 hours earlier to collect that footage, brilliant. I was so excited to see the Ghan coming into the platform ...felt like a little boy again.
That was a fantastic video Rory! My partner and I just crashed out on the couch and watched it, the 90 minutes flew by! Really appreciate the effort you put into these, looked like a great trip!
Thank you for watching!! And glad you enjoyed the video 😊😊
I totally loved this episode, you are very good at what you do. I have long wished to train travel as I did in the 70s, but I am disabled now and can't afford it. I felt like I was there with you. It was marvellous. Thank you so much. Jenny xx
I enjoy your videos. It shows the whole trip. You are very informative. You don't cram everything into a 25-30 minute video.
The Overland used run nightly between Melbourne and Adelaide,
The Melbourne bound train would stop at Sunshine to let passengers get off if they were going to Sydney by the Inter daylight Capital Express.
The dominant colours of trees and land in southern areas in Australia are a straw yellow and deep green. Further north, the green lightens to a bright shade, even becoming washed out in the tropics, and the straw colour becomes more brown and grey. I was reminded by some of the scenery in the video. Greeat and thorough video. Thank you!
Never watched your channel before. Started watching having no intention of spending 90 mins on a 'train' video, but found myself thoroughly entertained and watched the whole thing. Really well done Thank you - I felt like travelling with you down under.
Thank you for watching!! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️☺️
Same here! 👍
As a lot of your viewers have said I am among the many that would never be able to afford a trip like this. I enjoyed your trip though so neat to be able to watch your journeys!
Thank you SOOOOOO much for mentioning wheelchair accessibility!
Thank you! I always try to include everything 😊
What an absolutely stunning train review. $7000 is a lot for a train trip, but for what is offered, it offers everything that you could want. A journey of a lifetime. To me, every dish looked like beyond first class, I would personally love to experience this after watching your review. To me, for what is offered, I think that I would even pay 5 digits for this trip. I watched the full 1:30hr video and can't wait for your Great Southern video. Keep this gold (or should I say platinum) content up!
I recommend you stream it to your TV if possible and get an amazing experience.
Thank you 😃😃 Appreciate that you always watch the full length of my videos☺️ I think the price is fair, 5 digits would be too much for this trip 😬😬
Mate, this is a brilliant video! I am a born and raised Melbournian and had NO IDEA how beautiful this ride was.
I always thought "Why both taking a train across the desert" but wow, that was eye opening. Thank you!
Now looking at booking for mid next year.
Fantastic vlog, couldn't have been done better. Cheers.
Thank you 😊
The best video ever of the Ghan experience. Thank you
I love the way you present your video and really, really appreciate that you don't act silly and film yourself talking in every shot. I feel like you are taking me with you and explaining everything as though I am experiencing the same things you are- especially loved sharing the dining experience and feeling like I was there, savoring all the wonderful food. Thank you for setting up these intelligent, dignified excursions. Keep up the good work- the world will love it! I subscribed.
Thank you!! Glad you enjoy it and thank you for subscribing ☺️☺️☺️
I appreciate you spending the time and money to review your experience. I just couldn't imagine paying $7000 for this. I understand the trip is 3 days long. The exterior of the train resembles the old trains I see daily in my area.
I flew over Antarctica on Oz Day in 2017 for less than this.
Thanks Rory for consuming all that exquisite food, downing all those glasses of alcohol & for waking early to show us the best. Well done!
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed the video
Fantastic job , best most comprehensive review of travel I have seen !
Thank you 😊
Mate, you've done an absolutely sensational job. I really appreciate all the effort you go to with the extra information. Well done!
Thank you for watching ☺️
Thankyou Rory for an outstanding detailed video with commentary. My wife and I are booked for Platinum rail October 2023. What I have learnt from you will only make our journey more enjoyable. I would highly recommend viewing you work before any rail holiday as a must see. Keep up the amazing presentations.
Thank you so much - I enjoyed travelling with you! Very well done.
The best and most detailed review of this train on YT. I thought this was very well put together and had to be long to get the feel of such a long journey and all the wonderful hightlights. You should be a food critic , Rory, as well as a travel vlogger 😁
Thank you so much Chris!! I’m glad you liked the video ☺️☺️
Wow, what an amazing video, really enjoyed it Rory. You should come to South Africa and experience our Blue Train or Rovos Rails. Believe me you will be stunned by our beautiful landscape
Yes I’ve heard about blue train! Would love to do it one day!! Thank you for watching the video ☺️☺️
One of the best explanations & detailed tour of THE GHAN i ever seen on youtube / internet . Very well presented . Good Job .
Go Rory, another great video watched the whole 90 min and then had it playing in the background while i did the house work...not skipping any ads....more revenue for you for your next vid👍
Thank you so much for watching and supporting me!! Really appreciate it 😊😊
I ❤️ "rewatching" (listening) to these fine videos when I'm trying to go back to sleep at night. I get very absorbed and relaxed.. 😴😴👍😊
That was outstanding Rory! I watched every minute of it … and the 1:30 flew by. 👍🏻. What an experience you had. Having watched your Gold Class presentation, I think you received much more in Platinum Class … that’s what I’d choose having watched both your presentations. Can’t wait for your Christmas trip to be released. Since this is really a “once in a lifetime” trip, I’d pony up the extra $$$ and do the helicopter trip. Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much rob!! I’m really glad that you enjoyed my video!!
I think platinum definitely added a lot more comfort at night, and you get more privacy and more personalised service.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video, the content information and highlights were a huge benefit and made it easier to decided what one should or should not do as a future traveller, please keep making such wonderful videos and safe travels
Best ghan video I’ve seen to date!
I absolutely loved this video and how much time and attention went into making it. I live in Australia and was watching a documentary on the Ghan tonight on television but I got far more from your video so thank you! I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future.
This is the best trip report video I have ever seen! (and I've watched a lot on TH-cam)
Rory you got an amazing eye for details, and superb editing skills. It felt like I was onboard the Ghan as your travel companion. Akmost could smell and taste the luxurious dishes. Thank you for creating this amazingly entertaining movie!
Great video--- beautifully put together! Now on my bucket list!
Thank you for watching 😊
Many, many thanks for the wonderful video. It didn't feel long. You took us with you on your journey of cultural and culinary delights. This is definitely in my bucket list.
This is the best video I have ever seen of the Ghan. Well done... They should have sponsored you to do this it is so good !!!
Thank you nick! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
Wow wow wow! What an amazing trip and what a great review! It was pure joy to watch. This is definitely a trip worth saving for! Well done Rory, hope you get over a million views on this. It is well deserved
Than you 😊😁
We did this back in 1996 during our honeymoon to Australia. We showed up at the train station with our backpacks and no idea that reservations needed to be made a year in advance for The Ghan. We got on, first class, $3,000+ later and it was worth every penny! ❤
I found your videos a couple of weeks ago. Incredible so much work out into them. I truly believe you will hit a million subs soon. Thankyou for all you're had work very education.
dude so happy you got to do his, im not een half way through the video as i type and i am enjoying myself so much :)
we need to get you on some of those long north america and Europe trips eventually.
look forward to you continuing the great work
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video 😊
I’m planning to do some train trips in Europe later this year, or early next year ☺️☺️😁
I loved this video, thank you so much for sharing your journey. I have a disability and use a walker, I would love to do a journey like this but judging from the walkways etc. I don’t think it will be ever possible. I felt like I was on the journey with you and I thank you for your excellent commentary and your beautiful camera footage.
Rory, I live in Melbourne and I absolutely loved this video, and you've definitely just earned yourself another sub:)
I simply enjoy traveling alongside and I increase my girth watching you eat! Chocolate before bed to assist with sleep, fabulous.Thank you.
One of the best YT travel videos, and best for the Ghan, thanks Rory! Your narration style is spot on and you look at all the things I want to see. 🤗
Thank you Andrew!! Glad you like my content ☺️☺️
It's insane that is video is the same length as a full length movie! I am only half way through but just wanted to comment on how much I am enjoying it. Extremely interesting and informative. I'll never be able to do this trip so it was great to experience it POV style. This must have taken you FORRREVVVER to edit so you deserve all the views it gets.
Thank you for the compliment ☺️☺️☺️
Glad you enjoyed the video!!! It took me 4 weeks to edit 😁 but I think it’s worth it
@@RoryDing Definitely worth it. I've finished it now and I'm watching your Tasmania West Coast Wilderness video which is also fantastic. Highlight for this video was definitely the Marla sunrise!
Well done. This video will be forever the gold (or platinum!) standard for Ghan video reviews.
Wow! Thank you Adam! Glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️☺️😊
Rory that was incredible. Not too long at all, I loved every minute of it,
I love your videos. I’m a train driver who is still yet to do this trip! Iv decided I’m definitely going to do it now! Thank you!
Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed the video Emjay
Thank You for making this Video, it’s a journey we’ve always wanted to do, and by Platinum too. Love the length, this Journey to the top end is an experience and part of the holiday, so video needs to capture this, it’s not like hopping on a plane. We’ve got the DVDs of this Journey but your audio was far superior when the announcer spoke and you showed the menu and food like a food critic, this wasn’t shown as well on our brought DVDs.
So we’ll done they are my mother asked me where you sold your DVDs. This is the first video of yours we’ve seen, have to watch your Indian Pacific video now, to complement this once in a lifetime journey.
Thank you!! I’m glad you liked the video ☺️☺️☺️
Didn’t think I’d last the time. You give a great commentary.
Thanks for the trip ! 👍
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Saw this just before my busy day of work, gave me something to look foward too when I got home. Got home now and can't wait to watch, I really enjoy the relaxing and informative nature of your videos. I wish you all the best.
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed this video! ☺️☺️
@@RoryDing I did! It was really well paced in the sense that it was quite relaxing and let me as the viewer just enjoy all the aspects of this journey. Cheers mate.
What a wonderful review Rory - thanks so much for bringing the Platinum Class experience to us. I am glad you went with the extended length for the video so that each aspect of the journey could be given the attention it deserved. Terrific job!
Thank you Linda!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ☺️☺️☺️
What a ripping video! Always thought that The Ghan was an 'oldies' trip, but this has got me seriously thinking about doing it, even in Gold Single!
A truly epic adventure, Rory, thank you so very much for this video!
That opening ccracked me up… ‘surprise’ 🤣🤣
A fantastic video Rory, thank you for sharing it with us. What an amazing room/suite you had. That sunrise in Marla was something else !!
Thank you!! Indeed! The sunrise was amazing!
Its such a shame they don't have a single person platinum service that doesn't require essentially buying 2 tickets for one person
Thanks so much for taking time to film all this and for all the editing. Keep up the great work!
This is absolutely fantastic! So happy to finally see you in Platinum and, like always, such a brilliant review.
Super excited to watch this one Rory! Thankyou!
Thank you!! I hope you like the video 😊
Another fantastic review Rory, the sort of experience worthy of a longer form video, even though it didn't feel long at all. The Ghan is one of those bucket list trips for me at some point in the not too distant future.
Thank you josh! It was a wonderful journey, hope you’ll enjoy it! 😊
Fabulous! I have always wanted to see Australia, but it is unlikely I will ever be able to because of my age. However, this video gave me a wonderful sense of what it’s like. I so appreciate all of the background information on the railroad’s history. And, thanks for explaining what the name Ghan means; I had no idea about the history of Afghan people on camels in Australia! Your description of the food had my mouth watering! I am Subscribing! Thank you for taking me along with you on this fabulous train trip.
Another fabulous trip, thanks for taking us along, Rory. I recognized a number of places in Alice Springs where I visited 2yrs ago.
What an incredible travel vlog. You have done a great job. I can say this was definitely a food blogger meets luxury train experience. I've so enjoyed your previous vlogs, and this was just as good if not better. Thank you so much
Thank you for your compliment David!! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊😊😊
Amazing and detailed review of the Ghan, I'm really starting to enjoy these videos.
Thank you 😊
A brilliant comprehensive review. Thanks!
Thank you 😊
As usual, a great review. Really enjoyed it, keep up the great effort.
Thank you 😊
This is a train trip I’ll likely never be able to afford so I’m really so glad you managed to cover it (And in such extensive detail)! I wasn’t able to contribute much for this trip, but if you ever decide to do overseas trips I’d love to support those as well (;
This video was great. I enjoyed every minute! All the information anyone would ever need for the trip, and then some!
This is very relaxing to watch despite being crammed with helpful facts!
Top notch review as always Rory. I would love to travel on the Ghan one day.
Great video Rory and definitely not too long. I had been wondering when you would post again but this was worth the wait.
Thank you! It took me 4 weeks to edit this video, sorry for the wait 😬😃
I really enjoyed this video. I had never heard of you or this place before, but I found it all amazing. I subscribed👍 for more. Thanks for sharing. ✌️
Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️☺️
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Lot's of love from India. Hope to make this journey on my next visit to Australia. Stay safe..Stay healthy.
Hey Rory I'd like to thank you personally, your videos about the Journey Beyond stuff inspired my partner and I to plan our own holiday on one (when we finish saving for it lol), and it feels great to have something to look forward to in these stressful times.
Thank you!
Other than being expensive, all of their rail journeys are fantastic!! You should definitely do it one day 😊😁
This was a great train video experience, leaving nothing out. All too often, the presenters of train trip videos focus more on the sites visited and less on the train experience. Rory Ding provides both in equal measure, and it was appreciated.
Thank you for your compliments Etienne! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️☺️
You got yourself a sub 😊 very nice content and the way of presentation in very pleasing and realistic 👍
Thank you Rahul! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
Dear Rory, absolutely stupendous!!! Thank you!
Thank you for watching ☺️
Great video mate I love trains thanks for another great video
Thank you 😊
Hi Rory.
Definitely worth the wait for this video !🏆
That platinum class is amazing, and the generous size of the cabins, beds, and bathrooms , makes it with the price.
Sunrise in Marla, well..the word "spectacular" doesn't do it justice. Thanks for including so much information, too
Thank you!! Yeah the sunrise in Marla is definitely my favourite part of the trip!!
As always, amazing train review Rory! I really want to go on the Ghan sometime in the future and your detailed review means I now know all the amazing fetaures this train journey has to offer! Keep up the good work!
Very well done Rory.
This review was excellent and quite professional.
I (we) want to go .
Having done the Indian Pacific you have now made us want to do The Gahn.
Excellent effort.
Thank you!! 😊
I loved both trains!
Thanks heaps for this review! One of our friends was most likely one of your chefs during your journey, so probably cooked those delicious meals. She now drives trains full time with chef work on the side when she wants and I think working on The Ghan inspired her. Thanks once again for reviewing this trip. I have to save up and convince my partner to do it or just go on my own
Wow! That’s such a wonderful job and the cooking was definitely amazing! 😊
Nicely shoot footage at the Marla sunrise. Well done sir. Looking forward to the next edit you hinted at.
Thank you 😊
Thanks 🙏 for sharing great 👍 with video 😍🥰
Thank you for watching ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I’ve watched this twice now, I find it so relaxing and I’m so ready for my own trip!
Thank you for watching!! Enjoy your trip!! 😊
@@RoryDing
Beautifully done. Very expensive though but I do agree it is an experience. I reckon you were the youngest person on the train :-)
This is a fantastic review! A trip I would love to do some day and yes, in the platinum double cabin for sure lol. My fav part of this trip was the stop at Marla. That was just amazing. I would do this trip just for that one stop!! Thank you for this wonderful video!
Thank you!! 😊 Marla is definitely the best part!!!
