Ya sure about that. from what I have seen its the most spread out "city" in Oz especially when you consider the population to Sydney or Melbourne.

Spread out certainly, but it's easy to get around. That's very different to Sydney and Melbourne when even at 7am there is enough traffic to cause queues on the major roads. Those who don't live in larger cities wouldn't have left home at that time...
 

Yep I guess so but then that's why I live in Richmond. 10 min walk to CBD. 1:20 drive to a surf beach

Richmond is only 10 minutes walk to the Melbourne CBD? I wish I'd know that - I spent far longer than that making sure I got the right train, waiting for it to arrive and so on.

I wouldn't say that, I think Perth is more spread out than Adelaide. The traffic is also very heavy so you have to time your trips to avoid peak hour. We have had no problems navigating around Adelaide in peak hour.

I could never get used to that swamp water of a beer they call "west end"
 
enjoyed living in port wakefield 90 km north

for ME it is a good place to visit once in a while but buggared if i,d live there for any length of time again
 

Thanks Tech.
That is a very kind thing to propose. If I end up going there I'll be sure to message.

Cheers..
 
The great thing about Adelaide is that although you might not live longer, it seems like it.

An afternoon there seems like a week.

A week seems like a month.

A month seems like... an eternity. :

Fortunately the woobla is top notch. (SA beer is absolute swill though)
 
Its a great city (designed by Colonel William Light).

I've spent many happy times in Adelaide, and I would have no hesitation living there permanently. If fact I would be living there now but for a twist of fate. Its definitely one of may favorite Aussie cities.

I was on the last Ansett Airlines flight into Adelaide the evening they went bust. We had no food, but the air hostesses managed to find all sorts of goodies, including wines, sparkling champagnes, rtc, which they dished out out freely. The captain came on and made a tear filled speech. I sat wondering if there was enough fuel in the tanks to get us to the airport.
 
Adelaide is great. So easy to get from one end to the other.
Living in Adelaide is 'heaps good' because there would be 2 degrees of separation between everyone - everyone knows everyone.

The summers can get very hot and dry... but luckily we have awesome beaches and the river murray.

I had a tour around melbourne on the weekend and was glad i didnt have to drive! I would have ended up going around in circles! tho i quite like Melbourne too, and i'd like to live there now while im young, but i'd rather settle in Adelaide later on.
 
its the strongest commercial property market in australia atm in terms of rental growth and vacancy rates
 
is it far from melbourne?

Not that far really, because of its proximity a rubber manufacturing plant in Adelaide that just won a contract to supply an extra large rubber hose to Melbourne. It has to be pushed up Port Phillip Bay to Melbourne, something to do with giving Australia an enema apparently
 
Supply and price of Cannabis in Adelaide is also only possibly rivalled by NNSW.

Farmers Union Iced Coffee is surely the single best thing about S.A.

well they are the single best thing about SA in the morning... but at night Coopers Pale Ale has always gone down just as well.
The 2 go together.

A good old lamb/chicken combination Yiros (it aint called a kebab or souvlaki!) goes well in the period between your last coopers and your first farmers union.

After about 4 hours in the back bar of The Grand (The parachute club = most go there for their last jump :jerry ) then a garlic lamb Yiros and a Farmers Union iced coffee from Macris on Jetty Road... hog heaven :kebab
 
I've heard they just bottle the Murray River water, add gas and call it Southwark Beer (speeling?), went to a conference / piss up in Glenelg last year not a bad joint good food and wine, a few nice boats in the new marina next door to the hotel and they even have friendly taxi drivers that speak english, know where their going and don't rip you off.
