Re: I'm in Adelaide
Over here for 2 weeks from Melbourne, with the most stunning drive over here along the coast. I'm staying in central Adelaide and was wondering where all the people were for a Friday night
Actually I quite like it, but it is much more quiet than Melbourne. I'm working in Athelstone, but have plenty of spare time to see some things and meet with some people
More views of Adelaide form a Melburnian to come

Re: I'm in Adelaide
Best place to be in Adelaide on a Friday night is Rundle Street in the east end of the CBD - good pubs, cafes and restaurants. Usually quite lively. North Adelaide is also good for the same reasons.
Avoid Hindley Street like the plague!!!!!!!

Re: I'm in Adelaide
We have just come back from our first visit to Adelaide and stayed in the Holiday Inn in Hindley Street.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but have to admit that we saw more "sex workers" and drunks in the day that at night!
The 8pm tram from Glenelg was also a good place to spot the drunks and explain to my 4 year old why he should never touch beer!

Re: I'm in Adelaide
Very pleasant weather here at the moment, low 30'sC. Been to the sea today, preferred Henley to Glenelg, to be honest, but was still fairly impressed by Glenelg.
Checked out Hindley Street, Rundle Street and Gouger Street in the evenings so far, and I stand by what I say, Adelaide is quiet. But that's not a bad thing, and the city is growing on me
I'll think about retiring here

If you working in Athelstone go have a look at eastern suburbs: Kensingtons, Auldana, Stonyfell, Wattle Park...

Hello
glad you are liking it. Have you been up to North Adelaide yet? there's some really nice places up there. Or there's Pulteney Street in the city as well.
I went into the city last weekend and it was really quiet, I've never seen it that quiet before
everyone here must have spent their $1000 per kid bonus

Re: I'm in Adelaide
No, not been to North Adelaide, thugh I know someone staying there, so might take a wander over. I'm beginning to get the hang of the CBD, I'm at the Eastern end of things.

I know there's a few people at work that are off until mid week or the beginning of next week - they all bugger off to the Barossa or the Flinders for a fortnight
Good thing about it though is that I can get from the Northern Suburbs to ANZAC highway in half the time as normal

Re: I'm in Adelaide
The drive sounds good mate. We were going to drive to Adelaide xmas before the weather turned to shit.
Will definitely do it some time.
