Hi Carol, welcome to BE

There's quite a few of us here in Adelaide, so anything specific you want to know fire away. :)

Well, I love Adelaide, so may be a bit biased but it's so easy to get around even though I don't drive. The people I have met so far have all been really friendly.

There's loads of shops all over, from small shopping precincts to massive malls. The CBD itself is pretty easy to get around, and isn't too big. There's loads of really nice resteraunts and bars. The casino is great for a night out, whether you want a dance, or gamble, or just check out the guys :D it has a bit for everyone.

Away from the city there are bars in almost every suburb, most have a 'pokies' in them, a dining room and usually you'll find a TAB there too (Horse racing etc). Most people don't like them for that, but I can live with it, so long as they sell beer :D

The beaches are fabulous, you'll find ones that are really quiet, like Port Noarlunga, or ones that are a bit more lively like Glenelg.

And if you're coming on your own, you're very welcome to come along on our coffee meets, and also our ladies nights out. We don't do them all the time but if you ever fancy one, just let us know :)

Well it's winter here, and it feels like October :D

It's pretty cold at the minute (14 - 16 degrees), but we've had a lovely sunny day today.
