Creator's Key Takeaways

This was our first time on a sleeper train and we booked the full 4-day experience complete with offtrain excursions.

The service so far, mind you, we've only been on board for about an hour and a half, is next level.

Without a doubt, the GAN is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and if given the chance, we would a,000% do it again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book excursions months in advance, especially the Olaroo scenic flight.
โœ“Work on upper body muscles for opening heavy doors.
