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:p

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:p

Going well. Been out to South Bank today to fill up on nachos and beer, before getting our feet wet at the 'beach'. Also under contract on a house at the mo (just started a thread in The Barbie).

Spent most of the Christmas break packing in 34C heat!

Another working holiday huh? You certainly do get around :)

By under contract do you mean you are buying?

Yup. It seems that when you make an offer here, you sign a contract. If the sellers sign it too, then you're buying that house :) So barring the finer points like inspections (done) and finance, it will be ours in about 6 weeks. Apparently it normally happens in 3-4 weeks here but the sellers want a little extra time to find a place of their own.

Deadline for the finance is next Weds so we will know for defo by then.
