Moving To Adelaide

Most of the links already given for realestae will also have a rental arm to the company. Rent at the moment is anywhere from $250pw upwards (to avoid the slums) depending upon the condition and location. Its hard to guess prices by the time you will arrive as there is a rental shortage at the moment, so prices are beeing pushed upwards.

A 6 to 12 month rental would give you time to try us out and find an area you like.

Markyboy, not sure if you read the Telegraph over there. But Adelaide's made it into the Top 10 Destinations for 2007.

Adelaide, Australia

The Australians may well have humiliated us on the sports field over the past few weeks but they remain generous and polite hosts to visiting Poms. I have just returned from a brief sojourn in Adelaide - as a witness to one of the ritual sporting humiliations - and have no hesitation in recommending this manageably small South Australian city as the ideal holiday destination for 2007.

The reasons are simple. The city centre is a 15-minute tram ride from the seaside suburb of Glenelg, it is an hour's drive from the Barossa Valley, one of the prettiest wine-producing areas in the country, and it enjoys mild winters and dry heat in summer, which by my reckoning makes it the perfect climate in this globally warmed 21st century.

In contrast to stressed-out urban life in Britain, Adelaide is city life as it should be - without the overwhelming crowds, the constantly failing public transport systems and the surging crime rates. Here is a cultured, conservative-with-a-small-c city that is within striking distance of significant natural attractions (the Flinders Ranges, Coorong National Park, Kangaroo Island) and is also cool enough in terms of fashion icons (everyone in Hollywood is wearing RM Williams) and restaurants (the Magill in the city and the Appellation in the Barossa) that it could well be described as the Barcelona of the southern hemisphere.

While most of Australia's tourism statistics have remained static, visitor numbers to South Australia increased by 12 per cent this year, so the secret's out. I'd recommend a trip before the whole world finds out.

Have a read of the comments on the SA website.

A few ex-britons there.
