Twenty years ago, Coolalinga was a small town on the outskirts of Darwin and Palmerston. How time changes placres. It is not a throiving metropolis but it is a town of hundreds of people with flats, tenements and houses being built aroubd a shopping centere three or four times the commeentcial and retail size of 20 years ago.

I like shopping at Coolalings. But give it another 20 years, and the place will be crawling woith people as is the case with our shopping precincts in Darwin.

Below are more shops in the centre, a small component of what is there.
