Aww welcome and good luck - Great your husband is starting work, you should go for a drive around surrounding suburbs to Flinders Uni perhaps, are you looking to rent or to buy? I live in Woodcroft which is about a 15 min drive south from Flinders. There is a 2 primary schools in the area, Woodcroft Primary and Emmaus School - both have a housing estate around them. Shops also easy to walk to in this area. All the very best in your new venture.

Hi Tyke was not saying it matters where anyone is from - just sharing a bit about myself and a friend in the same situation, I agree does not matter where children are from or adults for that matter, take everyone as you find them is my motto

Good Luck - will be worth it all in the end

Hi - I am from Ayrshire in Scotland and arrived when my kids were a bit younger than yours - I know it's now coming into winter, but the Brighton Surf Club have lots of nationalities as members; our friends had the same problem with their kids and the surf club seemed to help - would depend if your kids where keen of course - parents can also socialise there, which is a bonus and just the push kids need sometimes, when they see their parents socialising too. Good luck though, it is hard and all takes time

I love Adelaide, but have never lived anywhere else in Australia - have visited Perth and it is beautiful as well - thought their main city was similar to Adelaide, but yes just do lots of internet research, to try to get a feel for both places....good luck

I live down south as myself, quite close to Christies Beach, which is about 30 -40 min drive depending on traffic to city - we have a new expressway which has cut travelling. So it just depend what you are looking for - from Christies Beach all down South we have beautiful beaches and close to all the wineries (McLaren Vale). Aldinga is further south of Christies Beach - the railway line has also been extended to run from Seaford - so better services to get to and from city. I personally love South of Adelaide. Good Luck with your application.

Just new to forum, moved to Adelaide 23 years ago with my husband and 2 daughters, we have never looked back and just love Adelaide. Would love to help others settle as I know how daunting the whole experience can be, so would be happy to share the knowledge I have acquired over the years also. Looking forward to being part of this excellent forum.:notworthy:Kindest Regards to everyone.....Karen & John
