This is not a definite, but we are seriously considering moving from the UK to South Australia (Adelaide area).
Getting pig sick of being shit on from a great height by the UK government, the crappy UK weather, quality of life - we survive, not live, etc.
Stu's a qualified First Assistant Greenkeeper and is also studying to be a Head Greenkeeper. Once he qualifies, he'll have to move golf courses anyway to be a Head Greenkeeper, and we're seriously looking at Adelaide. He has a friend there who moved 2 years ago and hasn't looked back since, and he keeps telling Stu of jobs that are going.
Can anyone give me any pointers? Any local websites (jobs, property, tourist info) that you know about? Even just telling me what it's like there - ie price of a pint of milk, litre of petrol, average house prices, that sort of thing.
If you don't want another Pom moving to your beautiful country, tell me to p*** off!!!!
Hmmm looks good to me my gosh
We pay $3.50 2Litre milk
$3+ milk
To rent a small 2 bedroom unit with one car space we are paying $170
Maybe we should move out of qld and move down there.
Good luck on making your decission on moving i must say that no matter where you move in australia there is always lots of work especially for people with qualifications
Thanks Carley - that's loads of info! I got your email too, just not had a chance to email you back yet, but I will.
Worried_mum - I'm presuming that it's $170 a week for the rent? We currently pay £85 a week for a 3 bed house, which seems about the same, although it is Housing Association (local authority type thing), so it is cheaper than normal. Round here a 3 bed house would be about £600 a month to rent, or about £180,000 to buy.
In the cheaper areas for a 3/4 bedroom here is anywhere from £60 a week but we pay £68 we have a 3 bedroom huge back yard. For closer to town (we are about 40 minutes from town by train) the average is £80 - £100 per a week. For the really posh areas on the beach it is £150+ apartment's etc.
