mindil markets are over.

check out the wave pool if you want to chill out from the heat. crocosarus cove in mitchel street is a good out-of-towner time killer. Casuarina square for shopping/movies if you again what to aviod the heat.

Wherever you stay, make sure it's air conditioned!
Hot & humid up there this time of year, but the rain takes the edge off.
It's tough to beat a top end storm, haven't seen anything like them since I left nearly 4 years ago.
