is it possible to hijack your own thread?
technically i guess it is but then they all get hijacked at some point or other so i suppose that is a good strategy to get in first.

Having been to Adelaide but nowhere else in Aus, I guess you're comparing apples and cheese as Adelaide is so much smaller than Sydney I think.
I like that, as I live in a town, near a big city (Leeds) but it wouldn't suit everyone. I hear life is faster in the bigger cities and I'm looking for a slightly slower lifestyle.
Having said that, job opportunities are said to be more limited because of Adelaide's size.
Just my (one-sided) two cents worth...

Our problem is we're both ditherers and I'm getting a bit worried that once we're out there we'll end up living with my Mum forever!!

Lovely place to visit but dull as dish water to live here.
Been here 3 years and wished we had never left Sydney, though moving to the UK to live for a couple of years in March 2004. Been to Adelaide, though back in 1992, I liked it.
Nothing happens here on the Coast! I have been told it is not bad for families and houses are cheap but as we have no kids and rent not much use.

How come i missed htis earlier??
BP..you keep saying htat Adelaide is not for big city people...i say that is not so... i come from one of the bigest cities in the world...London and owned a taxi company there for many years, and i find Aldelaide more than ok for my liking.... i think you confuse big city people with YOUNGER people.
Can you name me one thing you can do in Sydney that you cant do in Adelaide?

Adelaide will just have less variety of everything Sydney has. It is like comparing liverpool to London.
The main difference between the 2 is jobs. The company I worked for closed down the Adelaide office and those made redundant are moving to Sydney because the work in their fields is not in Sydney.
I could go on but the relevance is dependant on your lifestyle and profession.

Well the availability for computer stuff is rubbish. My husband is really into puter stuff and builds his own and always fddling about with new things and he has already found a great place in Hallet cove that has everything you need.
Of course Sydney will have more variety of things purely because its larger in size, but it doesnt mean Adelaide doesnt have them. There is an abundance of great quality restaurants here, (in fact better than all the ones i tried in Sydney)
There are loads of nightclubs to choose from open till 5-6 in the morning (met a young pommie girl yesterday who works in one of them)
Adelaide has a great beach and all the usual large department stores and shops you get all over Oz.
It has heaps of museums and art galleries.
Wildlife parks
Excellent kids facilities
It is even surrounded by the hills just like Sydney so that you can get away from city and beach and go bush if you like.
And finally...just along the coast a short way, is the start of the Great Ocean Road.
there...all done...anythng you want to know...

Surely Adelaide has more than one beach. Adelaide may have the usual department stores but it is the unusual stuff that makes Sydney. If you want a city who gives a stuff about hills and wildlife parks although Sydney is not short of them.
Adelaide may have art gallerys but so does every capital city in Oz. Sydney just happens to attract the world class events.
Adelaide is lot smaller and does not offer as much as Sydney but not everyone wants the big city.
