  1. Hey everyone, Looking for tenants, preferably long term. If interested please contact the linked real estate agents Town house 1/615 Brighton Rd, Seacliff https://www.realestate.com.au/rent/in-seacliff,+sa+5049/list-1
  2. I've been in and out this forum over the years too, feel I could offer a thing or two to newbies since I abused the forum before arriving, ie asking a million questions, and then a million more!!!
  3. Hello there, I arrived in Adelaide a little short of eight years. Came for a year but ended up staying. The best advice I can give is (and this is from an older head too), nothing needs to be forever. Life is about trying new things and seeing what presents. For me I arrived with a husband and a 14 year old daughter. I have since divorced (nothing about Aus that did it) but my daughter and I have settled so well we are now citizens and have no intention of leaving. As a 14 year old I was worried that my daughter would miss friends, not fit on, hate life, but the opposite occured - there is so much for kids here. Me personally, I had a 20 year career in sport, continued that for 5 years here and then retrained and am now a cop, which I did as a 45 year old!!! Opportunities are fab for adults too -you are never too old for an adventure or career change. Feel free to contact me with questions any time
  4. Hi there, I could be interested in this, is it still available? Thank you Letti

  7. Hi There, This is a little way off yet, but I'm not going to renew my lease in Glenelg as rent is now far too expensive, although I have been happy at this house for three years now. It's not due until later November/early Dec but just wanted to put it out there that if anyone hears of anything or breaking a lease to please let me know. I'm looking in and around the suburbs of Glenelg, West beach, Henley, Brighton, Hove, Somerton Park, Glengowrie....anywhere in and around there. I run a business from Glenelg so need to be within say 10km. Ideally, I will need 3 bedrooms... anyway, as I say, just putting it out there. Thanks everyone Letti

    hi

    Hi There, We are Irish (Cork) and know heaps of other Irish here also. ALWAYS happy to meet up. Where are you living? and if you need a babysitter my daughter (17 years old) is always more than happy to help out too. We live in Glenelg and infact a good few of our other Irish friends are in and around here also.
  9. It kind of depends if you like beach or hills? what sports/interests do your kids have? do you need ease of transport? have you a job yet? if so, how long do you wnat to commute?
  10. We brought as much as we could, just simply you take years to accumulate all that you have/need and to completely start anew would be extortionate. It's not so much the large things as as one person has said, some furniture places sell packages, but its the small things that appear insignificant until you realise you don't have it!. We bought a lounge suite but that was about it initially. Its also worth noting that cash and negotiation works pretty well here also in some places - the Good Guys for instance. If you are considering a container, then fill it to the brim. When you get here there will be quite a lot of outlay for rentals, bonds, etc not mention stress of settling - to have familiar things can mean alot. It was like all our christmases had arrived when our container arrived!! Hope this helps
  11. Hiya, We are just about to sign another 6 months on our rental while we await the decision on our permanent status. But, just wanted to flag it that we will be looking (hopefully) to secure a long term rental with 4 bedrooms (or 3 if there are 2 lounge areas) in the west beach, glenelg, glengowrie, brighton, somerton pk, seacliff areas.....if anyone knows of anything nearer the time or are likely to be breaking their leases, please keep us in mind. We have been very happy in our current rental for the last 3 years, but paying way over the odds on rent with a new increase just added - location speaks heaps though. So time to move on I think. Looking around November/early December for a rental. Similarly, anyone interested in ours then also please PM

  13. I'm waaaaay to old, but, have a good few Irish friends around your age who are always up for a laugh if your interested... PM if you want and I'll pass on details
  14. Any ideas??? feel like I'm talking to myself......
  15. Not sure how this works, was hoping someone might shed some light: We got here on a SIR 495 visa which means 2 years, 1 year full time work in a regional area then we can apply for permanent options. Hubby's employer has since said they's sponsor us which means a state sponsored visa now: Got paper work approval back form employer and immigration dept stating we've been accepted to apply. I was looking at paperwork and one question bothers me..... Its the being under 45 or exceptional circumstances. We've been told by employer that we don't tick exceptional box, but hubby is 46 this year. The letter from immigration clarly states hubby's age as 45 presently - does the fact we wre here on a 495 make the age limit void????? bit confused. Question 2: it also says on form to include 2 passport photos, or 4 if you haven't yet done health examination. Should we get examination done or await for them to tell us? if we go, where does one get one here? Question 3 (lastly): anyone know how long this process takes from sending application in? oh oh one last question (sorry): if I were to study at uni here, does a permanent visa allow me to claim benefits or would I still be classed as an international student until I complete a citizen test? Thank you peoples
  16. From what I have been told as soon as the day unfolds you can apply
  17. if the other poster doesn't want the trampoline firstly, how much is it?
  18. Hey! my daughter is looking for a keyboard. Do you have a picture so I can show her? she knows what she needs....!!!
  19. Cornish saffron cake....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm now there is something I miss! and real cornish clotted cream ice cream...... The crap that is pawned off as being a cornish pasty is outrageous. I think making it protected is going too far, but maybe a particular recipe should be follwed to call in a "cornish pasty" and not just a meat pasty. I'm Cornish and proud!
  20. Looking for some help. Went online to check out what's available and almost fell over with shock....the prices of a dress is ridiculous - my daughter has her school prom not a wedding!!! janey mac! anyone any ideas of where in Adelaide we can pick up a dress and not blow our life savings? thought I could get away with 200 dollars seems I'm wrong!
