Later on in the show, we hear from Journey Beyond’s food and beverage general manager Matthew Snare, who tells us about the onboard dinning experiences and what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to staffing.

The Ghan’s journey manager Sam Whaley also joins the conversation to explain what makes this iconic train so special and why it’s a bucket-list trip for so many travellers.
