Partly true until you explore what it has to offer,,and there is plenty once you find the places you enjoy going to,lovely beaches and cafes etc,,shopping centres cinemas,,everything you need to survive really!

only probs and one of the reasons why we left was lack of employment,well for us! suppose it depends on what work you do aswell,

Good luck

Thanks for your response, obviously employment is the most important aspect of our move. I'm a builder, heard that its not too bad for employment in building /construction, although correct me if I'm wrong. :confused:

not sure anyone can answer that mate without knowing what you like? there are thousands of people your age who love adelaide, but plenty who dont.

i lived in melbourne for 9years and my first work trip to adelaide i thought i had been transported back to 1983.

if you havent been to aus before you may find it more of a gamble than say melbourne or sydney

Still plenty of building going on in Adelaide, it has not seen the down turn that other states are having,[Yet.?] Lifes a little slower in Adelaide but thats it,s charm.....mm;)

I class myself as a South Australian but a million dollars couldn't get me back there. Look elsewhere

I love Adelaide. I'm 28 and i'm heading back for good. I work in education my OH in IT. I did a long thread on the catchup forum. It kind of tells you lots of things about Adelaide and why i love it :) We came back to the UK to get married and to try and start a family with our family around but have decided to come back asap. It's great!

Good, and the constant flow of ex SA's don't miss it either.

It can be a wee bit boring but then I don't think it has a lot of the faster city problems either. Melbourne's only 1/2 hour away on the plane for big city excitement.:D

Don't know which airline you've flown there with. :rofl:
1/2 hour is a little optimistic.

There's absolutely nothing to do here in Adelaide. I mean this is all that SA has to offer:

http://www.barossaunderthestars.com.au/
http://www.adelaidefringe.com.au/TixHome.aspx
http://www.loxtonmardigras.org.au/
http://www.totaltravel.com.au/travel/sa/adelaidearea/beachside/events/festivals/all-british-day
http://www.southaustralia.com/9004019.aspx

and that's all there is................



in the next few weeks (well there is more here http://www.about-australia.com/event...=5&evdt=2-2009 but I have better things to do that list them all :D)

I am moving people in and out of the state for varying reasons , mostly work related....older peole like Adelaide for its slower pace, and laid back atmosphere. If the world ever needs an enema, there going to put in ,in Canberra.......:rofl:mm
