We were originally up north of the city in a place called Paradise. This was where the Immigration Dept put us as part of the scheme of settling new Immigrants in. It was OK but we were far from the coast so we had a good look around. We have settled in a place called Maslin Beach which is in the Southern Suburbs. We live 500 m from a most beautiful beach and about 40 minute drive into the city. The boys all attend the same school which is literally 5 minute drive from our home. They love their new school, which is also very close to the beach, and therefore a lot of school activities are down there.
I have travelled all over Oz and been to every main city. I did this when I was a lot younger and Adelaide seemed a rather sleepy city and at the time did not a appeal to me. Now I am 15 years older and married, Adelaide is just perfect.
There are a lot of suburbs on the coast heading back north between Maslin and Adelaide, all superb beaches, though I haven't been here long enough to know much about the suburbs that well.
Hope all goes well.
