Welcome to Central Australia’s ghost town. Established soon after gold was found in 1887, Arltunga was the first town to spring up in Central Australia, and soon some 300 people lived in there. Eventually, Arltunga had a police station, post office, as well as the government battery and Cyanide Works.
Florence Falls at Litchfield National Park is a great place to swim in refreshing waterfall water. The 2WD campsite at the falls is good. Great value with good amenities, large campsite, firepits and hot-plates. Magnetic Termite Mounds, 4WD Tracks and lots of walking tracks. There are also many waterfalls to visit.
Now there is another reason to visit Darwin! Not only is Darwin a melting pot of culture, natural beauty, markets and outdoor activities; it is now very much a place to visit if you are an art lover. Darwin has always had a rich culture of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal art, and now it has a heterogeneous street art scene. #streetart #darwin #australia #northernterritory #mural
Percy Isles are part of the Northumberland Islands which are located south-east of Mackay, off the Queensland Coast of Australia. They can only be reached by private boat (no ferries). The island has abundant maritime history and a long tradition of welcoming cruisers. Cruisers are welcome ashore and there is a fabulous place for all to gather, chat, share sundowners or a BBQ with fellow travellers. The large A-frame structure on the beach has a few basic facilities including chairs and tables. There is lighting powered by solar panels and an information area were you can purchase the local produce. Nearby there is a BBQ, fire pit, shower and toilet.
There is so much to do in Townsville, and better still there is a lot to do that is free, yep that’s what I said FREE! There is military history to explore, as well as, indigenous, civic and the history of Townsville women, to name but a small piece of Townsville history. The Strand has a water playground and there is a free swimming pool. Art galleries, street art, a free movie night and plenty of walking trails.
Townsville has embraced the street art mania that is spreading through cities worldwide! It has a vibrant street art atmosphere with stunning art and huge wall murals.
Port Adelaide has been transformed into a giant, outdoor gallery as result of the 2015 and 2017 Wonderwalls Street Art Festivals. Wonderwalls is a 3-day mural festival that has been held in Wollongong and Port Adelaide (Australia) several times over the past few years.
