Melbourne VS Adelaide
 

Hello people!

I am new to this forum, and yes, I am not technically British, but my British friends have told me you are a good forum for me!

I have been living in London for the past 7 years and have had both my sister and brother marry some lovely Australians while living here! Lucky people! I am now looking to go for visiting and I wonder which city I will like better. Also, as a qualified dental hygienist with 4 years experience, I wonder if I could work in either city.

I am a very big rock and metal music fan and I love the outdoors. I was a big lover of sailing and surfing back in Spain and would love to see what Oz has to offer! I know I'll love beach life and as I know, you brit s are a friendly people so I'll hope you help me out in my decision!

Much love, Laura x

Melbourne definitely has a large Spanish population and a dedicated Spanish quarter around Johnstone and Nicholson st in Collingwood, if thats any help.

Plenty of Spanish food available in Melbourne as well.

What visa are you planning on coming on?

A visit to see my family. A few months. I'm not 100% sure how long for, it seems I have to decide with authority first where I go. Thanks for replying!

Thank you very much ozzieagale! That's very helpful! I love how Ccomodating the Aussies are! I hope to see a lot of Australian life too. I hope Melbourne has a lot of this too! I am excited to see! I am very much swaying with the great ocean road, too, is it worth seeing?

You won't be able to work on a tourist visa. Why not go to both cities, and perhaps a few more too, if you are here on a holiday?

Not much surfing in either city: nearest surfing beach to Adelaide is about an hour's drive south.

Kite surfing is big in Adelaide though - always seems to be lots on the beaches near me :)
