    No I don't know much about them, but I do know where they are and they look nice from the outside. I will ask DH when he gets home though (he's driving from Sydney).
    They are right next to the raceway (well not literally but with 1km) so you might just want to make sure there are no noisy race meets on that weekend.

    Thanks for the tip about checking out the race meets, if there are not any on will probably stay there as is a fair bit cheaper and the difference will pay for the car rental. I have booked the flights now so can now look forward to it instead of thinking about how much flights are costing.

    Just got back from Darwin, we had a great time and the Hidden Valley Tourist park was great, lovely and clean and not too busy (although that might have been because wet season). Was disappointed to miss Mindl Beach market by a day as finished for season before we got there. Was so so hot (I take my hat off to people who have toddlers and babies up there), but will probably go again as is nice to combine seeing my grandma with a holiday.

    So thanks for the tips Kim

    Oh no, that sux about the Mindil Markets. Glad you had a good time though. The humidity is oppressive isn't it? You experienced one of the worst build-ups for a while. You do get relatively used to it though.

    The kids and I are going up again last two weeks in May and staying at Hidden Valley with my parents who are over from the UK - weather should be better - any other must see stuff with a 3 year old and 10 month old?
