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.

    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
    • Well found out it’s a 60th anniversary gtst from that it came with 205-55r15
