		In contrast with the gentle and cultured southeast, the remainder of South Australia – with the exception of the relatively refined Eyre Peninsula and its strikingly scenic west coast – is unremittingly harsh desert, a naked country of vast horizons, salt lakes, glazed gibber plains and ancient mountain ranges.
		The Ghan to Alice Springs is one of Australia’s great train journeys; as is the Indian Pacific between Perth and Sydney, which passes through Adelaide – though if you hop on the eastbound train here, you’ll have missed traversing part of the country, which is really the point of the journey.
