On the Ghan and leaving Australia

Took the Ghan from Alice Springs to Adelaide. Caught a flight from Adelaide to Sydney. We left the next morning for Chennai.

The Ghan gets its name from the Afghans who used to transport material across the desert on their camels. There still are camel farms in Australia.
