Adelaide

[BillyIdol]

Being a migrant to Adelaide and having not lived in any other Oz city, I love the pace of Adelaide. Not too fast, not too slow. It is big enough to be exciting and yet, small enough to know people.

(and while I'm here, I would love to meet other Adelaide-based shareholders to meet up and talk, discuss ideas etc.... thanks for replying Prawn_86).

But what really sucks is that we get a handful of AGMs if we're lucky and the 'round-robin' of some bigger companies when they grace us with their presence, which means travelling to another city outside these times. Seriously, I actually like AGMs, if nothing more than to go and have a bit of fancy food !

For example, we'll get Adelaide-Bendigo Bank, Argo, Futuris, Beach Petroleum and Hills. And that's it. yee-ha.

Anyhow, we have some of the best wines here and great restaurants - Shiki, Gaucho's, Whisker's Blake, KY Chow, Grange Brasserie (beautiful breakfasts), Red Ochre, so that kind of makes up for it !

Hey, we get the biggest of them all - Murdoch's News!
We have the best tasting and best value restaurants too - Cucina, Taste of India, Madame Wu's, Tandoori Oven...and no meal costing over $16!

Just curious what the arts community is like there. Is there an avant garde scene there or is it just outback sceneries and stuff like that?

How is life in Glenelg? Wild and rowdy or touristy and laidback?

I'll be in Adelaide in March for Soundwave festival...

Book your accommodation early or stay somewhere along the train or tram serviced areas.
The tram is a constant free service between south of the city on South Terrace (good accomodation along Sth Tce) all the way to the Adelaide entertainment centre.

Check out www.arts.sa.gov.au they are building a brand new arts centre including film and sound studio. I have some first hand knowledge and the place is awash with building works going on. I should be quite the place when all completed.

Thanks Gordon.
