Oh and nickUK and pompeyblonde, stop taking the piss out of Adelaide!! I'm going there. And it seems like a huge busy city to me as I live in the countryside surrounded by farms here!

lol no honestly, it seemed HUGE to me. The nearest cinema/shopping centre for example is 20 miles from me!

I got lost in Adelaide, and all the roads are straight!!! :rofl:

xzibit, where you lives sounds like where i live! We have no shop, pub, post office.. ! It'll be a shock (a pleasant one!) to be surrounded by people, especially young people! My youthful good looks are wasted around here :rofl:

Ditto! :D

I can't wait to get to civilisation. My nearest pub is 3 miles away, PO about 5 miles, there is a petrol station just down the road though.

Into my 6th week now I think, so I hope it'll be soon. Hopefully before my holiday in 2 weeks so then I can celebrate. (Quietly though as the g/f ain't too happy about it all)

I nearly settled for Adelaide as a sponsoship Visa was almost my only option. Thankfully I get the option fo Sydney now. I'm just too young to be living the quiet life.

Now you guys have me thinking I may have to go to Melbourne instead. Though I think I have to head to SA for a bit due to my sponsors living there.
