So its not a small city.

So it does not have very hot and dry spells in summer.

It doesnt have many rough bits.

Its not quiet, compared to say sydney melb.

Really

Been there twice, but I have never lived there, not for me at all. Parents in law lived there for 6 months at one stage, but went back to melbourne.

A lot of fair comments I think. Lived there for three years and it wasnt for me, not to live, having said that theres nothing really wrong with it, its just not a great place for anyone single (over say 25!) or anyone who seriously wants a career...well depending what your career is I guess. Or anyone who wants to eat after 8pm etc etc but Im a city bird!

I have many friends there, Aussie and British, all married, all love it! Horses for courses! very close to the wineries and the outback, pretty dead apart from this time of year with the Fringe Clipsal etc

We have lived in Adelaide for about 7 months now and really enjoy it.

+tives - Beaches, parks (with kids play areas!!), BBQ lifestyle, larger houses, festivals, more homely than say Sydney, invites to friends houses with pools, Vinyards

-tives - still the same 45 mins to work, some areas are a little rough around the edges, salary is less than uk (there weren't too many jobs to choose from! - multiply your uk salary by 2.2 and use that as a guide), house prices, stealth taxes.
