Visiting Adelaide for job offer

[jansibar]

Hi there

I've just signed up with this website, although have used it in the past for reference. We arrived in Australia 2 weeks ago from Scotland (myself, my husband, and our 15mth old daughter), and are currently staying in Melbourne. However, my husband has been in conversation with a company in Adelaide who are very keen on him and we're visiting Adelaide this weekend so that he can meet up with them and to give us a chance to see Adelaide.

 

Can anyone give us some ideas of what to see & do while we're there for the weekend, with a view to possibly living there? esp family friendly things. We've visited before but only for 5 days several years ago, and really liked the place...hence we're considering it as an option for living.

 

cheers!

Hi Jansibar,

Not a lot of time to se everything , Best bet hire a car visit Glenelg, Henley beach, trip out to a couple of winerys visit the city that lot will take you a couple of days.

Enjoy its a great place to visit.

 

Good luck

Thanks everyone for your replies - sorry for not replying sooner....it's been hectic!

we had a lovely weekend in Adelaide. The job is in the city centre, where we were staying, so had a wee explore of the city & the lake which was nice, then drove around a lot of the suburbs on our way to the Adelaide Hills (Stirling, Bridgewater), Semaphore beach, christies beach, mclaren vale. We'd previously been to Glenelg when we were backpacking 8 years ago!

 

now we just need to make the decision about where to stay, and if we move to adelaide, whereabouts to live in adelaide...it would be a tough decision between beach & hills!

 

thanks again - will keep you posted.
