    We did the Ghan a couple of years back in the same class and "luxury" is not a word I would use to describe it. It was far too noisy to sleep, and I'm not a light sleeper, it was as rough as all hell, the toilet stopped working and they couldn't fix it and we froze at night. But the food and drink were good.
