Planning the day
- Pick one main thing for the morning and keep the afternoon loose. Travel between suburbs adds up.
- Libraries are worth a look when you want a quieter hour. Check opening times with the library.
- Book ahead with the organiser when a class or event asks for it.
- Ask about age ranges. Only some listings state them.
