Every ten years since 2004, when the line from Alice Springs to Darwin was extended, the residents of Livingstone have engaged in this somewhat unusual ritual. The Ghan covers 2979 km in three days and two nights between the tropical humidity of Darwin and the temperate climate of Adelaide.
For this 20th anniversary, residents of the town placed posters encouraging other people to join what they called “ full moon fever ”, the next edition of which will therefore take place in 2034.
