1st posting! Adelaide.
Hello all,
This is our first post My husband & I have just returned from a 8 week holiday - 4 weeks in Oz & 4 weeks in NZ -an amazing journey!
It was a fact finding tour to help us decide which country to emigrate to.We have been thinking of emigrating for about 2 years. Finally we have decided to go to Adelaide , South Australia. I am a nurse and have been in touch with a recruitment agency regards employment in Adelaide. Adelaide is the smallest of all Oz cities 1.1 million people and has a lovely country feel to it! We like that! We come from a small town in south wales the big cities wound not suit us and we think Adelaide would be just right -twenty minutes there abouts out of the city you are in the country side and in the other direction at the beach Will be starting the whole process in January and if all goes well will be in Adelaide September/October 2008.
We would like to hear from expats who are in Adelaide or who want to go to Adelaide.

Hi Liz,
Welcome to BE.
We are in South Wales and we're going to Adelaide too! Did you know that there is a South Wales meet up every month or so - next one is due in January. If you check out the meetups forum you will see a thread about the meets. You can also PM, (personal message) me as I am organising them at the mo.

We'd visited all the big cities here and decided that Adelaide was the place for us. We moved here three months ago. Adelaide's big enough to have everything you need but not too big and property prices are still pretty reasonable.
Good luck and I hope everything goes OK.

A year and few months in Adelaide.
Loving it here.
Just the right size for us after spending many many years living in huge cities.
One of the better things is listening to ABC radio on my drive to/from work and hearing about all the traffic problems in other cities. Once or twice a week Adelaide gets mentioned.

And I am too.
It is a smashing place if you like smaller cities/country town feel.
Saying that I've just done a delivery on North East Road from down here in Onkaparinga Hills.
Makes you realise how spread out Adelaide is
It has it's downside to some but just right for us.
Adelaide seems to have something for everyone and does grow on you.
Great for kids.
My only whinge is regarding the winters here.
