Jany and Ian are auntie and uncle to Ben, who married jemma, who I was bridesmaid for in Thailand....hope your keeping up.

So after a night back in Darwin we boarded the train for part of our epic journey through the middle of Australia, The Ghan. Despite everyone saying how the cheapest way to get around was flying, we found out the rail pass was much cheaper if you have the time. The first train was 24 hours, through vast amounts of desert which gives you an idea just how huge the country is.
