make Adelaide even more of an economic basketcase. The politicans and bussiness people who run SA are incompetent, inbreed morons who lead the state from one economic disaster to another such as the Sate Bank disaster and The Multi-Function
Polis disaster, by the way what ever happened to the Multi-Function Polis, what happened the the hundreds of million of dollars spent on it.

I am pretty sure that most people have enough intelligence to work out that crimes happen here as much as anywhere else. I really wont bore everyone with pages and pages of historical crimes form around hte world, but when you mentioned the body in the river, it reminded of of a sickening murder in London just before i left. A small childs torso floating in the Thames? Yes, it happens everywhere.
Only this morning on the news, two more gangland associates shot in the head in Melbourne.
The Falconio murder trial is about to start in Darwin too.
As for Mitsubishi. That has nothing to do with Adelaide or anywhere else not being good enough. Its an overseas issue that created it and its only one of the two plants operating here.
It is not just Adleaide that has its fair share of imcompetant beaurocrats. I am sure if i could be bothered (which i am not) i could find plenty of examples from every other Australian city and most international ones too.
I really dont know where you live in Adelaide, but it sure isn't the same place many of us live.
South Australis has some of the nicest beaches in Australia. Noarlunga springs to mind immediately. There are great days out to be had up in the hills with plenty of greenery, bush and gum trees. The Barrosssa wine region is excellent.
Some people must get a really warped picture of SA from some of these posts. Yes there is plenty of desert, but theres plenty of other terrain and beauty here, just as there is in many other parts of Aus.
I don't really mind the comments too much though. Makes sure that us in the know can keep it to ourselves

We have received our visas recently and up untill the last couple of weeks have been planning on heading to Adelaide as we have some family down there and liked the place on our visit a couple of yearss ago. I have also recently spent two weeks in Adelaide looking at work, housing and schools and all looks good enough.
But when I do an internet search into Chefs jobs, Brisbane always comes up with four or five times as many jobs then Adelaide! Plus everyone I know that has been to Brisbane loves the place.
It seems to have everything us poms are hoping for from our move. It is near the beaches. The Sunshine coast and Gold coast are only about an hour away but the problem for me and my family is that we have never visited the area!
What do you guys think?
We have some friends who live in Jindalee, what is this area like?
What areas are most popular for work and lifestyle?
Any view points appreciated

We are in Adelaide and love it. The only thing I though that I didn't like in Brisbane was the tourisim, very heavy. Whay don't you do a reckie when you get here and spend a few weeks in Bris.

Lived in Sydney/Wollongong for 5 years, Adelaide for 5 years, then moved to Melbourne for 4, and only just moved up to Brisbane and absolutely loving it.
I'm a big fan of the humidity as I spent some time in Hong Kong and loved it. The weather in Adelaide is very dry in the summer, and you can get long stints of 35+ degrees which can be quite oppressive. You need a car in Adelaide as it's quite a spread out city. It's like a giant retirement village, with a lot of ultra-conservative oldies wandering around. You get a lot of non-south australians who dislike Adelaide for one reason or another. Can't say anything about the place without mentioning Snowtown being a barrel-of-fun.
We've been visiting Brisbane with the intention of living here for quite some time and decided to make the move last year. We managed to find a great place in a suburb called Murrumba Downs, just of the Gympie highway. I'm loving it so far, and everything has worked out well.
In my opinion:
Brisbane > Sydney > Melbourne > Adelaide

Well, you got the Barossa, Coonawarra and Maclarenvale, good for a weekend of driving around in a bus. That's always good fun.
Then of course you have the wholesome family entertainment that I call Hindley street...
