Thanks at least mum feels she isn't going mad or there is some secret shopping somewhere she is missing out on. She is an op shop fan so will give her those stores.

It was cold here this morning is true but only till about 9:30 - 10:00. We will try some more markets this week, went to Mindl on Thur but was very busy and with DD and DS wasn't conducive to shopping for clothes.

How about swimwear? Trying to get a rashie for her without success. My Grandma lives close to Casaurina so that is where mum has been for shopping mainly.

Have to say I like Darwin, it grows on me more each visit, if I wasn't so attractive to the mossies would be even better

Any tips on what to do next week? This is what have done so far (will be me, my parents and DD 3 and DS 10 months).

Museum
Mindl beach market
Leanyer pool
Litchfield (will go again one day this week)
Casaurina beach in evening
Wave pool
Fish feeding
Territory Wildlife Park (might do again as can get in cheap as cousins wife works there so might combine with Berry Springs)

We have ruled out Kakadu as too far and all us adults have done before.
