Hiya

We hope to be joining the "jump ship" queue next year hopefully ;)

I for one dont regret coming here.. but will not kid myself on, that it was very clear from the start that it could not pasify for long.

Its a nice place to start off tho, and does seem to suit young families.. but we are city people

My family moved from Adelaide to SE Qld 10 years ago.

Adelaide is boring, and the economy isn't going anywhere.

SE QLD has heaps more to do, more jobs, better weather. The people seem happier. Only problem is the stupidly high prices for property.

South Australia's unemployment rate is currently around 4.8%.

You might do well out of the mining boom in SA If you want to live in Roxby Downs or somewhere thousands of miles from no where in the middle of the outback not in Adelaide.

Thats what makes this country great, the ability to get out their and do somthing ,instead of coming from a city in the UK to a city in Aust and sit around whinging .
The works their for those who WANT it, besides I can do Adelaide - Roxby in 6.5 hrs in my truck ;) ........................... :beer: mm

Hi there, am I right in thinking you are a friend of Mandy? We met up with them recently while we were on our reccie and she told me she had a friend who was probably going to move onto the east coast.

Sorry if you're not who I think you are :o

Perth is booming on the back of things that are happening 2000kms away in Northern WA, why not Adelaide as well?

A few boys in our volunteer fire brigade are now working in the mines up north for 2 weeks then coming home for 4/5 days at a time. If you do well up there you can make enough money to bring forward your retirement by a decade or two.
