Re: Positives and Negatives about Adelaide

Re: Positives and Negatives about Adelaide

Re: Do Brits move to Oz cause they think there are too many migrants in UK?

You must be an aussie then. If not, I bet you are one of the people that think that once on australian soil, you must only think, eat and breath australian. I bet "Bizzarley" your name is Bruce.

Re: Supermarket Pet Hates...

Sorry if all these have been said, far too many pages to go through.

Re: Do Brits move to Oz cause they think there are too many migrants in UK?

Re: Are you still where you emigrated too?

We started our Aus adventure as a holiday on the GC before we flew down to Adelaide. We had to live in Adelaide due to the Visa requirements.

Re: Are you still where you emigrated too?

We lived in Adelaide for 4 and a half years and found it boring. Been up the Gold Coast for 9 months and love it. There is so much more to do here.

Re: Gold coast and Brizzy holiday

I would stay at Surfers Paradise. It's right by the beach and you wouldn't have to drive anywhere at night as you would be in walking distance to places to eat, nightlife etc.
