My father-in-law lives at Stirling in Adelaide, absolutely loves it, he is 56!! He moved there in 1990, wouldn't live anywhere else.

I've been myself to Adelaide, and thoroughly enjoyed it, but would not move there myself, because of job opprtunities (or lack of).

A guy who works here (in UK) is from Adelaide, and though he spent much of his 18-23 in Sydney (for the job opportunities), rest in UK, now 30 is hoping for the day he can return. He is from Tea Tree Gulley.

I'm told the population is certainly aging. Perhaps some other twenty/thirty somethings living in Adelaide can help.

Good luck Paul

Hi, I'm 35 and my wife is 36 with 2 kids age 5 and 7. Adelaide has over 1.1 million people living here so there are lots of younger families around. We have lived in Adelaide for 7 yrs now (coming from Portsmouth and Guildford in the UK). We have travelled all over Australia and find that Adelaide is the friendliest and easiest place to live with kids. Housing costs are cheaper that most other capital cities and there are excellent choices in schools and after school activities.

It is worth knowing that Adelaide is probably the only mainland capital city where you can get home from work before the children go to bed. (very few people have to commute more than 30 minutes from between home and work)

If people state that Adelaide is boring and full of churches, then the most likely explanation is that they have never been!

One big retirement village with the oldest population in OZ,
with a dying economy and plauged by weird serial killings :scared:
