We checked out Hertz when we went back last year - the com.au site was miles cheaper than the co.uk site. I think a wagon was GBP 200 but we got it for $66 !!! Not sure about the other big companies but worth checking out! Lea

Try John Wickham - check out his website too - www.ctsjw.com.au - he is also at Hallett Cove - up near the mall. He managed to salvage all of our data and photos when our hard drive went. Highly recommended. Lea

Sorry I didn't post this earlier - here is their website http://www.pnss.sa.scouts.com.au/

Hi Port Noarlunga is probably one of the best in the area, I know several people who go there. They do lots of activities and camps. Lea

Hi I just looked on the CFS website - it tells you what you can and can't do - have a look here http://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/site/fire_restrictions/what_can_i_do_what_cant_i_do.jsp Lea

We used Cash Passport recently on a trip to Singapore. Very easy to arrange at the post office and can top up by BPAY from here if necessary. Lea

Try these guys have used them before - they are a broker for DHL etc http://www.interparcel.com/

We used this guy (albeit 5 years ago!) he gave an excellent service and emailed the report that night. Would highly recommend him. ​Lea

I have been lucky enough to cuddle a baby wombat, someone from Fauna Rescue brought one to a scout event once. May be worth contacting Fauna Rescue to see if they can help. ​Lea

Edwardstown is quite industrial and as Anne B says has Main South Road running through it but only a couple of streets back will be nice quiet residential streets. (Always surprises me how quiet those side streets are). Renting may offer no problems but if you later on look to buy there have been issues with pollution from its industrial past. I would suggest you google the area to find out more. As for areas, I would rent a furnished rental for the first few weeks when you get here, drive around and find areas you like before looking for something long term to avoid being stuck for 6-12 months in an area you don't like.

We got ours from Bunnings, still waiting for it to grow big enough to flower...

Try these guys . http://www.parcel2go.com, have also used Interparcel.com in the past. Hope this helps Lea

Here you go - from SA water website: http://www.sawater.com.au/SAWater/Environment/WWM/WWM_Overview.htm. Its now referred to as waterwise measures! Lea

Have a look here http://www.bankwest.com.au/personal/savings-term-deposits/savings-accounts they do a Kids Saver paying 10% if you pay in a certain amount each month. There is a branch at Rundle Mall or you can do it all online. Lea

Hi could you post pictures of the loungers please? Thanks Lea

Hi As you're in the south try these guys - http://www.perrysfruitnursery.com.au/ highly recommended and they are happy to give advice on how to look after the trees as well

My daughter goes to Braeview and loves it (has been there from Reception and is now in Year 2). Lots of support from the teaching staff, they also have special programmes for children with mobility, communication issues. Parents and staff are friendly and supportive to new children. They have also recently had a lot of investment from the government so have new classrooms and are currently looking at setting up a Stephanie Alexander Garden. Hope this helps Lea

I emailed the school and got the reply this morning. It costs $15 for 2 adults and 3 kids or $7 an adult at $3 per child under 18. Lea

Hi He can certainly put down Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (Mechanical) but would suggest he look at gaining his Licences. Bear in mind Adelaide may not be your best choice in this line of work as jobs are few and far between ( have known several people return home due to not getting work). Check out careerone.com.au and seek.com.au to look at job vacancies. Cheers Lea

Just bumping this up as still available.

Great to hear from you!! It was really spooky Diane mentioning you as I had often wondered how you were doing! We are all settled here in Adelaide no (3 1/2 years) and loving it. Hope we get to see you down here sometime! Take Care Lea

My daughter goes to Braeview and absolutely loves it. Can't fault the school it has several special programs for kids who need support in their learning. Have a look on their website and give them a call to chat with the principal. http://www.braeview.sa.edu.au/Braeview/welcome.html Lea

I think they were going to stay put in Qld for a while - she used to be on another forum but it seems to have closed. (Was just checking it!) Be interested to see if she is OK. Also do you remember a girl called Claire who was having problems passing the medicals as her young son had eye problems? I wonder if she ever got here? Last I heard they were trying for SS to Canberra. Lea

Hi Diane, Think it was Sasha - she of millions of posts!!! Last I heard they were building a house in Tropical North Queensland but haven't heard from her for at least 2 years. I have been wondering if she and her family are OK what with the floods and cyclone. Lea
