Moving to Adelaide - Where its at?

Hi All

Its on the cards that I may be moving to Adelaide for work. I have never been and dont know a soul! Can anyone endure me with some venues for a good time?

I am impartial to some funky house tunes but open to all scenes.

crazy :crazy:

Funky house, eh?

Check out Garage on Fridays and Saturdays. They are also open as a restaurant and serve up a mean steak sandwich. Once a month there is also progressive house n breaks with Fabric. Click the link in my sig for more info...

Otherwise try Electric Circus, Sugar, Kings Head, Savvy, Tonic. One of the good things about Adeladie is that the majority of clubs are in a 1km radius of each other Wink ;)

I used to be a semi-regular at Vodka but haven't been in much since they changed their door policy. Far too many wankers now than there were before imho...

Yeah, been looking on the net for a bit. It seems pretty reasonable! Very happy about that...

So how does the rental market work in Adelaide anyway. In the ACT not all of it is on the net, you have to venture around and visit some of the agents. Is it the same in Adelaide? Does anyone know of some of the bigger/better agents?

not sure haven't rented a house in SA for 6 years... Saturday paper is the best bet. Along with domain.com.au and realestate.com.au....

I used Lin Andrew, linandrew.com.au, to rent out my house... they did a good job finding a quality tenant.

All depends on what you want out of your house,

Best to find a private rental property i say , that way you don't have agents around doing inspections every 12 weeks . Also it is cheaper because the landlord doesn't have agency costs , try the advertiser on saturday or wednesday . Maybe its on the net i havent looked . You should be able to rent a house 5 mins from the city for around $300 , in the suburbs you will pick up something reasonable 20 mins from the city for around $200 a week .

What goes around comes around , it is the universal law of averages and applies to all things............
