Hi Polly and Cazzaj, I am not in Adelaide yet but have been looking at realestate.com.au for rental properties all around Adelaide, what I really like about this site is that each suburb is given a rating out of 100 which I think is realy useful. Hope this helps, cheers Sharon

Hello Maria,

just wanted to say Hi, and alsoto let you know that if you are doing your visa online, you don't have to have your documents certified if you are scanning and attaching them.

Hi there,

Welocme...

For lots of info about Adelaide take a look on :

 

South Australia - Adelaide, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Kangaroo Island, Maps, Hotels, Online Booking

 

The www.adelaidebound.com.au has a wealth of info.

The real estate web site is useful as it has the suburb satisfaction rating but to be honest it's really difficult unless you are here. You get a feel for an area once you have explored so it's best to get a hire car from the beginning and explore as soon as possible...that's what we did.

I don't have any regrets about settling in the south (made an offer on a house in Port Noarlunga within the first 3 weeks of being here) and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. I did live in Old Reynella for 6 months but it was such a relief to get back here! This was influenced by quite a few things...it was 4 degrees colder in Reynella!, the closeness to the beach (I have an energetic Boxer that runs riot on the Christies / O Sullivan beach plus a son at TAFE in Noarlunga, a daughter who lives in Port Noarlunga and a son doing an apprenticeship at the Noarlunga centre!!

Whatever questions you have..you will get plenty of help on this site...plus plenty of opinions!

 

Take care.
