Hi all, although I live near Adelaide I never use public transport and am going to the Andre Rieu concert evening of the 18th Nov. We plan on having an early dinner in the city then need to get to the stadium (together with 10,000 other people), can you please tell me the bus route or if there is a train. Are there buses back to the city around 11p.m.?
I will drive there if need be but am not at all familiar with that side of town. I will be coming into the city on Main North road.

Hi. My name is Yasmin and my hubby and I (in our early 30s)will be in Adelaide from 11th Dec. We are hiring a car and would like to share the cost of travel with a couple who are interested in going to Kangaroo Island from Adelaide on the 12th of Dec to the 15th of Dec. We will then be making our way up to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road and plan to reach Melbourne on the 20th as we have a flight to catch early on the 21st.


We are huge nature lovers want to see as much of the natural beauty of the route as possible. We are easy going and flexible and just want to have a relaxing time :)We plan to camp at safe campgrounds.

The cost for a couple will be AUD500 (per pax $250)which includes the following :
1. car rental
2. petrol
3. Sealink ferry charges for car (does not include your ferry pass that is about $164 per couple)
4.my hubby driving for the 10 days.

We plan to camp at safe campgrounds. If your travel plans fall into the above dates, pls email me at yrparanjothy@hotmail.com

Am really sorry but you have to be a non smoker :)

My wife and I will be in Adelaide Oct 12-14 and are thinking of taking the Barossa Wine Train trip (1/2 day or full.) Has anyone ever done this?
We know we could tour wine area via tour bus but we're kind of train buffs and enjoy train travel. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Hello, my husband and I will be in Adelaide for five days, three of which will be spent on Kangaroo Island.

We know this area of Australia is world famous for its wines and would like to do a tour. Does anyone have any suggestions? We thought about hiring a car, but the mixing of wine tasting and driving is likely not a good idea. We tend to shy away from large bus tours if this is possible.

Thanks in advance for any help and/or advice you can give!

If so, could you please list where & the requirements/prices.

Thanks!

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?

Cheers,

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
