what do you love about our fair city, adelaide?

being a long time resident. i've grown to love this city as more than just a place to live, but a way of life.
full of amazing people and amazing places, too many to list.
but let's have a crack at it.

so what do you love about adelaide?

So, where is my dream? It is a continuation of reality.

But where is my reality? It is at the end of your dream.

LightningChyld ITM Contributor	The longest drive you really ever have ahead of you is about 45 mins (Except peak hour) There are more trees than houses! Coming from WA though, and knowing Perth, I liked the Swan river and also the space. Adelaide's pretty cramped in some places. May contain traces of Going Nuts

Unlike that backwards hole called melbourne! aka Hotdogpete "Also loved both Noddy's and MPK's sets, didn't realise there was so much variety in DnB - can't wait for the next DnB nite now!"

The falafel king in Rundle Street, although its closed now so i might have to move interstate to get a decent one

The music is great, the clubs are fucked though. If every single club got fire bombed, got the insurance payout, and rebuilt a proper club, Adelaide would be a lot better for it.

The beaches, wine & food make for a pleasant time and getting monged in the hills is fun also.

Back from holidays

20 minutes to anywhere - city, hills, beaches, wineries.
The wine.
The cheap entry to clubs.
The top class resturants.
Not crowded anywhere really.
There is no peak hour traffic (compared to Sydney).
Our beaches.
We manage to get some top class internationals (sorry Pappy, I get to see most that I like - but I know what you are saying Smilie ) to support our even better locals.
Cheap living.

Adelaide. You rock Stick Out Tongue

zeus Registered User	I would have to say there are two things that I appreciate about Adelaide a LOT more now that I am living in London. They are the wide open spaces (believe me if any of you have been to London you will know what I mean. Everybody lives on top of each other here) and the way laid back attitudes of people. Most Londoners are up tight as!! House is more than just music.....it is a way of life

After emigrating from the UK - pretty much everything about Adelaide is wicked!

Highlights would be:

- The beaches - and clean, clear sea
- Pace of life and way of life
- Weather
- People (so friendly in comparison - Yes even u Noddy!!!)
- Cost of living
- Nightlife (I never went out in the UK) Frown
- Will to win & succeed (Australian attitude not just Adelaide)
- Houses (actually have room to live in them)
- Ease of getting about

Only real downside it that it is about 12,000km from Kenilworth Road, where my beloved Luton Town play ... a small sacrifice really!

God grant me the energy to give a shit.

i like adelaide because of it's size - it isn't overly big, but it's big enough. people here are pretty chilled too, which is always a good thing.

Gotta love the cheapness of here

gotta love the cheapness of the drugs too (could be a reason why the people here are pretty chilled?)!

Thats gotta be the 23rd time I've seen one of you post that pic.

As for Adelaide. I've only been there twice for work and it was a nice little town!

Peak hour traffic = non existent

- smooth track download -

its not instant, you have to sit there for a set amount of time to perceive it, and it's made up of different vibrations of moving air mixed together and translated by the ear drum to create an emotional effect - it's operating in a completely different dimension.
