Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

go to Adelaide. Perth is boring and house prices are sky high.

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

same as us ... we off to QLD now ! YAY

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Actually, house prices & possibly too many Brits(?) putting me off Perth. Have just started to look at QLD also. God what a decision!

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

well i will say that wasn't why we changed minds .

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Go for Adelaide. Too many Poms and Pommy enclaves in Perth.

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

between us babe we will make sure nobody else sets foot here.

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

There are just as many brits in parts of QLD, not so many just yet in SA but it is increasing.

<snort> ;)

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Were the same, can't decide between Mebourne or Adelaide and even considering Perth. My hubbies a nurse and I will have to pack in work to look after 3 young children. I think Perth will be too expensive for us. Adelaide sounds beautiful, but not sure if too quiet so I think Melbourne may be coming 1st up to now. May change next week though. Decisions, Decisions. Good luck..

adelaide, who is going to baby sit for you when you go out together? it's not a good thought really but just a thought, i am nurse too been in adelaide 10 years sydney 6 and uk 6, kids 17 and 15 doing well, and like it here !!!!!!!!

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

I take the kids with me when I go out :D It's one of the great things about Australia - child friendly pubs and not feeling like you've got to keep them tied to the chair.

Of course if I'm going clubbing I leave them with my hubby ;):D

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Poms and South Africans.

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

I'd go to Adelaide due to the house prices. Apart from that I would head to Perth and buy the house next door to Amazulu.

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

lol

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Hopefully his luck would rub off.

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

I think Adelaide sounds fab and looks wonderful. OH likes the sound of QLD. We have friends there which would be good but Adelaide still sounds affordable and lots of people seem to think the education and health systems are better. Is this true, does anybody know? Which hospitals do you nurse in? I'm a theatre nurse and need a job!

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Lou, don't think you would have any problems finding a theatre job. I am a community nurse & jobs not as easily available as in the hospitals. We are going to apply for PR once skill assessment is back from ANMC and if necessary I'll sign with an agency & find something permanent once we are there. At the moment deciding where to head for and getting there are the priorities!!!
Good luck to you & keep in touch!

Re: Perth or Adelaide?

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Go on tell us. 3 Million :D

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Hi, I am a nurse in Adelaide. Been here 9 months now and loving it. I work at the RAH ( Royal Adelaide Hospital) in Emergency. It's a massive trauma centre so never short of excitement. 24hr theatre and there are always jobs going. PM me and i'll see if i can get you into contact with the manager.

I have 2 boys 10 and 9yrs and they love the life and school!!

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

hi may sound a sill question but is there adelaide quite coastal or out in the sticks flying doctor country to be honest we are clutching at straws and probly go enywhere in oz if we did get the oppotunity i been always looking at qld as my brother lives there ,serious replies only;):)

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Adelaide has lots to offer. It has a coast and hills to the north so there is a bit of something for everyone. We are planning to move their too. House prices are reasonable and the weather is not as hot as the gold coast. Hopefully i wont have a problem getting a job there as a nurse from a couple of agencies i have spoken too. Good luck whatever you decide x:thumbup:

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Its often been called the 20 minute city as the center is quite central to evrtyhing ie the beach etc

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

sounds cool i will have to look up adelaide my hubbies a truckie and not on the skills list have sent for some info from other members that have given me advice see what comes back
cheers guys:)

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Flinders Medical centre sounds and looks good. If we do head to Adelaide, that's where my husband is looking.

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Is it true that whole streets are ethnically cleansed.

I can imagine moving to a new estate and finding everyone there unloading their stuff is a GBP1,000 Pom.:)

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Oh, I dunno. I see plenty of Brits here and numbers are increasing rapidly!!:p

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

Yep, loads of brits settling here in Adelaide.
We love it here, loads of nursing jobs, lots to do, great beaches.
I work at a private hospital (ICU) and I teach part time, PM if you want any info

Re: Perth or Adelaide?
 

There's a bit of everything here. Coastal suburbs are mostly down South (there are some up North too but not as many, unless you want to live somewhere really quiet :D or have lots of money).

Then there's the hills in the East, beautiful scenery from up there.

The North can boast the Barossa Valley, which is stunning.



Hello :D

You up for a coffee meet soon?
