2019 50 Cent Coin - 90th Anniversary of The Ghan - Coloured Fifty Cent

90TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GHAN

In 2019 The Ghan, one of the world’s great railway journeys, will celebrate 90 years of history and desert adventure. The romance of the journey is immortalised in The Ghan’s logo – a mounted cameleer – and its legendary route, from Adelaide in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory, passing through some of Australia’s most spectacular and beautiful scenery. From its inception as the Afghan Express steam train, forging through fires and floods, The Ghan is now one of Australia’s most luxurious train journeys – a transcontinental train adventure.
