Re: leaving adelaide
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

Re: leaving adelaide
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.
