Hi I live in Largs Norh and happy to meet up for a coffee. I have two boys, 6 & 15 months. Send me a pm if you fancy it. julia x

I think it's the norm to pay their petrol costs to collect, we had to to get rid of ours, but thought it was a small price to pay to clear a lot. It's probably due to time wasters that they have to cover their costs. You could see if you get any interest putting them on Gumtree for free, there are also some collectors advertising on there as well.

Great, how about next Tuesday, my eldest will be at school so will be a bit easier. I have another friend with a baby girl who lives in somerton park who I will invite along too. i am not able to send you a pm but if you can send one to me with your mobile we can arrange something x

Hi Soph and Sarah I have two boys , 5 & 11 months, we used to live in Henley but have just bought in Largs. Would be great to meet up for a coffee, happy to come down your way. We have been here three years, it does get easier, feels like home now. just send me a message julia x

I had mine done with recently and the only thing that needs signing is your new photo if you look significantly different from your current photo, I felt I did so got a friend to do it (they have to have known you for three years which can be tricky if you've only just moved here!). It was really easy and quick, I got it back within two weeks, not particularly cheap but then what is!

Hi Lauren welcome to Glenelg, a lovely area , where are you originally from? We have since bought a renovation project a bit further up the coast in Largs bay but still often go to Glenelg or Henley where my son still goes to Kindy. Let me know if you fancy meeting up for a coffee, you have arrived at a nice time of year. Not sure of any groups in Glenelg but I was recommended a good playgroup in Brighton. There are a couple of mummy Facebook pages depending on your age/ what you're into. 'Mummy Therapy' does mums nights out and play dates, 'Adelaide Mums over 35'. will have a think about any more, most library's have good story time sessions and wiggley worms in Glenelg is nice. I tried to send you a PM but it wouldn't go through as you are a new member julia x

We used Kerry at conveyancing matters, she was great and would highly recommend.

I think compared to Melbourne the city centre of Adelaide is a lot smaller, SA in general is a lot bigger than Victoria but traveling around day to day in Adelaide is a smaller and much more pleasant experience (just my perspective and opinion)

We moved to Adelaide from Melbourne last August, for us Adelaide was always our first choice but we know the IT job market was very limited so thought we would give Melbourne a try first. There was huge job choice there, the public transport is very good and is much larger and more urban than Adelaide. Traffic is much worse there and takes a long time to get around by car. For me I never really gelled with Melbourne, being from a small village in the UK, I found it too busy and built up. It has loads more going on, but that wasn't important to us. It depends what lifestyle you want and what you are into. In Adelaide we can afford to live by the beach, with only a short drive to the hills, wineries, and the city. It does feel tiny but we like it that way, the only worry is the job market and we would never have risked coming to Adelaide without a job offer first. Feel free to ask my any questions about either city. Good of luck with your choice, make the right decision, moving interstate is almost as expensive as moving from the UK! Julia

I use a great free app called pocket weather Australia x

Thank you every one for your comments. We don't suffer from asthma but will look into the cement factory dust. X

I have been looking at buying a propery in Largs/Largs North and just wondered what people thought of the area. Crime, schools, nice beaches, much going on etc. any feedback greatly appreciated JJ

Hi Maria, wow you keep yourself busy, thank you for all the suggestions, I might try the military road one next week as that's just round the corner from me. Have sent you a PM about meeting up Jx
