shopping and facilities in Darwin
Hello there everyone, can I ask for some help. I am now in the process of moving to Darwin in April and am just wondering if anyone could pass on any info regarding shops and such. My missis wants to know if she needs to stock up on shoes and such before hand. Any excuse for shopping me thinks. And if anyone can tell me how far away the central business district is away from the airport.
Thankyou from the madmunky

She will find it difficult to buy shoes in Darwin that are similar to the European ones, but I wonder if she would really need them there. You will have a very different lifestyle and to be successful you both need to start afresh, so much will be very different. I've giving this a lot of though but think it would be kinder to tell you that Darwin is probably one of the hardest places to start off in Australia, if you throw yourselves into it and try live like Ockers and not Poms you can be very successful here. Best of luck, hope all goes well for you.
I'll leave the other answers for someone else, it is a few years since I was last in Darwin.

As Discovery says, Darwin is OK for shopping - it must be, my wife manages to spend most of her time doing it!!
But seriously, Casuarina Square (it has a website - -google it!)) is enough to occupy avid shoppers for a few hours, then you have the shops all along the Staurt highway and also Homemaker Village.
Trust me, she'll be 'right!
