I'm from Adelaide, haven't lived there for about 10 years but moving back in a couple of months. I have visited Melbourne dozens of times but not actually lived there so can't really give you any advice on it, apart from that it does have a great vibe, restaurants are some of the best in Australia. On the downside, as the other posters have mentioned the weather is bad and I have found driving there to be crazy, takes so long to get anywhere. Adelaide is a lot quieter but doesn't mean it's boring, it's really what you make of it. It's really easy to get anywhere, hills, beach all within half an hour driving and it has some of the best wine regions very close by, Barossa, McLaren Vale, Clare all an hours drive from the city. There is the Central Market in the centre of town which is the best food place IMHO in the whole of Australia. It also has great pubs and some really good restaurants. My parents live in the Adelaide Hills and it takes them 12 minutes to get down the freeway which is then about 10 minute drive from the city, so very close and absolutely gorgeous in the Adelaide Hills. Adelaide has some great art/entertainment/sporting events each year, Adelaide Fringe, WOMAdelaide, there are more but like I said it has been some time since I've lived there. If you want anymore advice on any other aspects of SA, I'm happy to help. Good luck with your decision and move!

DH is now also considering settling down in Adelaide. Can you tell me something more about it? Is it worth settling in Adelaide or should we stick to Melbourne? Compare and Contrast it with Melbourne? Is it a better place? I did google but that doesn't help much. What's the difference between Adelaide and Adelaide Hills? Are they separate areas? Too many questions, I know.. But this is just the beginning.. xx THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!
