Hi Jockney
Congratulations, you're finally living your dream!!!
Do keep us posted as alot of people on here are heading your way, myself included!!
Isn't Glenelg lovely!! We were there two years ago and fell in love with the place, especially the tram ride.
When you get you're bearings can you let me know which is the most competive place to buy real estate. We were going to head up towards Happy Valley, but now feel it maybe too much out of the way of the hub bub. Any up and coming beach areas that still have reasonable house prices?
Cheers and best of luck, may see you there next year!

Jockney,
It seems that people here are ready to bleed brits dry, they assume that because you have migrated that your loaded, maybe it's for the best that you did not get this place.
Try Weston Raine and Horne on the Anzac Highway at Glenelg, very friendly people, and then theres the wednesday and saturday Advertiser always loads of rentals, this is how we got our place in Dover Gardens.
Good luck.
Colin

Sorry to hear about the rental going pear shaped, although I'm sure you'll find a rental soon there's loads out there "too many investers buying to make a nest egg for them selfs" As Colin said look in Wed and Sat Advertiser pages and pages in last weeks !
We are at Flagstaff hill so we have the best of both worlds the hills and the sea close by "we think so anyway" have you been to Port Noarlunga ? waves are good here. We too are looking forward to the warmer weather can't wait!
Good luck

Hey Jockney, sorry about the rental worries, you could try Brock Residential or Toop & Toop, and others who advertise executive rentals in the Advertiser saturday real estate section (I seem to recall that you were going to splash out and rent an upmarket joint near the beach, so these agents are more likely to have what you want on their books).
See you at the picnic, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! adelaidegirl
