Trippin’ Turpins Travel Highlights 2020
What can I say about 2020? It has undoubtedly been a year of ups and downs for most people, I am sure. For us, 2020 has been 366 days of love, excitement and fun, as well as frustration, fear and bafflement. We have, surprisingly, still managed to do quite a lot of travelling during this time. – 7 flights took us 10,658km by air. We sailed two boats 6461 nautical miles and we enjoyed road trips and camping and travelled 4300km on land.

Arltunga – Central Australia’s Ghost Town
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 – Camping in Litchfield National Park.
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.
Darwin’s Stellar Street Art
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
