"Adelaide has been a great place for me.  It's got all of the facilities of a big city, without the crowd and the in-a-rush attitude of city dwellers. You can be at the beautiful beaches or the scenic hills in just 20 minutes. The space around the city is unbelievable with so many parks. It's just a perfect place for kids and people who like nature."
