Hello This is our first post so please bear with us! We are newly married and are moving to Adelaide for at least a year. We are arriving 8th August 2012 ( leaving it late to post but only just got recommended this fantastic forum - already picked up loads of useful pointers). We would love some advice on arranging a long term rental, ideally we would like to live next to the beach in somewhere like Henley beach, somerton, Brighton etc or wherever people recommend. We don't really know Adelaide just what we've picked up from guide books and the web. We both have jobs sorted so that's all good it's just accommodation we're concerned about. Any advice would be great, especially about fully furnished accommodation and how to find it? Even if we could take over from someone and buy their furniture or something? Anyway if someone could advise would be fantastic, we can't wait for our trip to Adelaide it sounds amazing plus it's kinda our honeymoon!! Best wishes Simon and Jess

Hi all, Just to introduce ourselves; Liz (32), ChrisJ (33) and Izzy (15months). We're at the very early stages of applications - Chris is the main applicant and has just aced his IELTS test and now we're waiting on a +ve skills assessment so we can go for SA State Sponsorship. Chris's occupation (Systems Administrator) currently has high availability on the SSML - fingers crossed this is still the case when we get to the top of their pile!!!! Looking forward to chatting with all you lovely people and hopefully making some connections for upon arrival. Liz x x

Hey, Just wanted to say a quick Hi! Myself and my OH are at the starting line for our application for Oz. We have decided (with a little encouragement from the SMPs ) that Adelaide is the place to be! We have hired an agent and in the process of getting OH stuff together for skills assessment! Really sociable and hoping to make a few friends before we get out there to ease the pressure. Been having a little wonder around forums and everyone here seems lovely and helpful, even more than PIO! Hope to get chatting with you all soon! Jade x
