Adelaide Travel Forum

Anyone know of a good way to organise a car pool in Adelaide?? I found a couple websites that match people up, but after registering with each of them, shock, horror, there is noone in Adelaide registered on their sites ... except ME!

Am I really the only person in Adelaide who wants to commute in a car pool??

If you live near Glenelg and work anywhere near North Terrace and you have a car but want some money for petrol and some company for the drive (I can drive too if you like) ... please let me know!! :)

It's so hard to be environmentally conscious these days! Public transport here in Adelaide is just shocking at the moment, I've had it up to here. The tram is always late and full and overpriced. I'm not upset enough (yet) to buy a car. ;)

Happy travels,
Daniele

Hello,
I have arranged for a Sealink tour to Kangaroo Island the second week of January. With the recent bush fires, is this still safe? We could try to change our plans, but we leave for Australia this Friday.
Thanks,

Hi,

Is anyone in Adelaide familiar with the book Rich Dad Poor Dad written by Robert Kiyosaki? If so, I'm wondering if anyone would like to meet up to play his Cashflow 101 Board Game sometime?

Hi! :)

Just checking to see if anyone is keen to have a VT meeting in Adelaide or Glenelg sometime in January? Please let me know if you want to suggest a place and/or date to get together. We can make it informal to share travel stories and tips. My husband and I just returned from a 12 month round the world trip.

In the meantime, have a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

Happy travels!
Daniele

Hi All

My first question in a forum... here goes.

My family and I are planning to move to Adelaide early 2008.

We have 3 young children and are looking for quiet friendly places on the outskirts of Adelaide (near plenty of parks and close to a good private school). Preferable north, since my work is within the electronic engineering discipline and most jobs appear in the northern area.

Not bothered about living on the coast line, but would like property with a large garden.

Thank you for any help. rgd Robin

This is Nitin from Chandigarh India.I have my recieved SIR Visa approval letter.But there is a recent development that i am getting married now.As my Visa has already come and i want to take my wife along with me.
So please advise me how to go further,is it possible to take her on tourist Visa and apply for her immigration in australia.

Hi all,
A friend and I are planning to go to Kangaroo Island from Melbourne for a couple of days. I know that the quickest way to get there is fly to Adelaide.

Would like to know if anyone has been on this route before. I would like to know what's the most cost effective way of travel to and from Kangaroo Island. We're thinking of leaving on a thursday night, stay in Adelaide for most of the day and get the last transport out to Kangaroo Island on Friday night. Then return from Kangaroo Island in the afternoon and hopefully make it to Melbourne by nightfall.

Any deals on flights/transport/accomodation/tourist spots would be most welcome...even if you could send me links to where I can get this info I'd be really glad.

Talk soon!

Lisa.

Hi,

My family and I are moving to Adalaide after alot of travelling and reasearch.
We are a young family of 4, two children 2 and 3.

We have just arrived back from melbourne, and found this was not the place for us.
We have previously been to Perth (mandurah), which we was unsure about, although is a gorgeous place.
When we first went to oz we went adelaide and have never forgotten our experience, people, etc... this was supberb.

As we have young children its hard to keep going on long flights so could please somebody advise of any place in adalaide we should avoid for any reason, as we will probably only get One more chance to travell before we move and would like to visit the most positive places for our children, eg, schooling, amenities, beaches etc...

Thank you for your time
Jay
