The Alice Springs Railway Museum, commemorating the original 1929 Ghan railway that connected Adelaide to Alice Springs via a famously flood-prone desert route. Original locomotives, carriages, and equipment are preserved at the museum. The name 'Ghan' derives from the Afghan cameleers who first crossed the route. The original Ghan railway is one of the great stories of Australian engineering failure and persistence. The museum tells the full history of the Alice Springs–Adelaide rail connection.
