Most cities involve a compromise—no lifestyle options but great jobs, or an excellent scene for the under 25’s but nothing for families to do, or if they have everything, you just can’t ever get to it. In Adelaide, you don’t have to compromise.

Adelaide’s nicknames — the “Big Country Town”, the “20-minute city” all centre around the ease of movement—”rush hour” lasts barely an hour and in most places it’s a short trip into the CBD, into the Hills or onto the beach.

Whilst many people concentrate on natural features and our abundance of opportunities to enjoy open countryside or interact with nature with excellent wildlife parks and zoos, the city in reality is a high-tech hub for the defence, communications and software industries, as well as having a strong traditional automotive manufacturing base.

To cater for such a diverse population, all forms of entertainment and facilities are available– world class sporting facilities such as the renowned Adelaide Oval, outdoor activities, a thriving pubs and clubs industry, world class cinema complexes and excellent libraries, art galleries and the like. Home of the Adelaide Festival of Arts and WOMADelaide, Adelaide does “big events” very well.

You might find it hard to believe, but you can easily buy a three bedroom family house with room to move in a good suburb for as little as GB£89,000 (try this real estate link if you don’t believe us!).

School fees at top quality private schools—schools that have produced Nobel prizewinners—are within the reach of many families, and the Government education system also has an impressive record. You can check out the education system in Adelaide by clicking here.

In summer, spring and autumn, Adelaide is an outdoor city—the average summer temperature is 28°C, and even in winter, the average is 15° - quite a warm day by some European standards! See Adelaide right now!

Not everyone wants ease of movement, a Mediterranean-style climate, a high quality job, good housing, a better life for their family and a great base to explore the vast continent of Australia—but if you do, Adelaide is for you.
