Planning a visit... what to do?

[Nicky]

Wow, what a nice place. I'd like to say that we could afford something like that as it certainly ticks all the boxes but realistically to start off with anyway I think we'd be looking at spending probably about half that. It'd be great to have all that space too ,esp with 3 kids!!, but I think something we'd have to aspire to in a few years time, perhaps when I'm working too (when my youngest starts school). We'll certainly check the area out though.

Thanks Tyke

[quote=stickman;33894]So, it looks like my wife and I are coming over to Adelaide for a bit of a nosey around

My wife's a nurse specialising in early pregancy so we'll be checking out the Womens Hospitals, and checking out some of the many, many suburbs (any hints gratefully received - it'd be nice to find somewhere semi-rural, not a million miles away from the Womens Hospital and the motor racetrack



If you have time to fit it in you could have a look around the hospitals that you might be interested in. I visited the Adelaide Womens and Childrens and they were really accommodating, not for everyone but I love the drama of a big unit to work in. There is also Flinders, some others but not really sure. You can look up their website and mail them when you go and arrange a look around.

Good luck, hope it goes well. Keep us updated on your return.

Hello

We are going on 16 May for three weeks, not sure if we are lucky as we are taking the children with us (11 and 9) but we are lucky enough to have relatives to stay with.

One of my biggest concerns after getting a job is the schools. I am at the moment trying to make contac with a few schools in area we like the sound of, so we can arrange some visits to at least get a feel for the schooling in Australia. We wanted the children to be involved as much as possible and think they are old enough to cope with the travelling, being dragged around etc. Plus, nobody offered to have them for three whole weeks - what a surprise.

We contacted both Public and Private schools before we left and only heard back from a couple of them so were really worried but most we found like you to contact them when you get here and then we were shown around a lot there and then. If you mention the area you are interested in I'm sure there are members on here who will be in the know.
