GB537 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hi guys! I wasn’t quite sure where to post this... I was wondering if anybody here is due to move to SA in the new year? Im heading out on a 489 visa, first for a 3 week holiday in March, then moving properly in mid April. Looking to settle in Seaford, south of Adelaide. I was wondering if anybody else due to move over there would like to meet up in the UK before going? Maybe get to know people in advance so it doesn’t feel quite so lonely once we get there? My sister did something similar before she emigrated and is still good friends with a bunch of other expats 15 years later! Anyway, let me know if anyone is game and I’ll try to organise something!

Jody Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hello, my husband and I (age 33 & 35) are moving out to Adelaide on 8th Jan on a 489 visa and we are very excited. Currently living in Hertfordshire/Essex area. Might be difficult for us to meet up with anyone beforehand due to having a hectic last week or so before we leave, but happy to meet up when out there if possible.

TheReads Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hey Jody! My husband and I (32 & 33) are moving to Adelaide on 2nd Jan, currently on a weeks holiday in Melbourne. We’re both from Essex (Epping area) but had been living in Hertfordshire before leaving the UK (small world ) and will know no one in Adelaide. If you guys fancy meeting up when you’re there and settled let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) It would be great to meet up, we also do not know anyone there. Edited January 1, 2020 by VERYSTORMY Forum rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB537 Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Wow, so close! Good luck with the moves, both of you, hope it goes smoothly! What part(s) of Adelaide are you both going to? Edited January 1, 2020 by GB537 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Seaford is where we’ve been looking at too! We’re still waiting on our visas but had CO contact so hopeful that we won’t be waiting too much longer and then heading out there by the end of July 2020. We (hubby and I - plus a 2 year old too) would be happy to meet up but we live in the nottinghamshire area not London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB537 Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Yes, hopefully you should have your grant soon. The waiting is so stressful, isn't it?! Would you be interested in meeting up somewhere in the middle? Is anywhere like Oxford/Cambridge/Northampton etc easy to get to? Happy to travel out.

Jsmull87 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hi Guys, Not Sure if any of you are still about on here. My wife and I would also be happy to meet up in Adelaide. We've been here since June 2019 and are both 32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB537 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 How did the moves go, @Jody & @TheReads? I hope you're all settling in okay! @Jsmull87 I'm still here! I won't be over until March (3 week hols, then the big move in Mid April). It's a bit early but I can look at meet up places, if everyone lets me know their suburb, I can try find somewhere convenient. Unless you'd prefer the city? How are you finding living over there?

Jsmull87 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 @GB537 we love it. Things Like jobs fell into place for us quickly which really helped. There’s so much to see and do around the city. The weather just makes everything better. Adelaide is so easy to get around that nearly everywhere is convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyjojo Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This is a really good idea. We don’t have our visas yet, but will probably look to do something like this before we move in a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReads Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @Jsmull87it’d be great to meet up! I’ve no idea how to private message on here to give you our contact details? I’ve tried a couple of times but it won’t let me send a message @GB537let us know when you’re here as we’d love to meet you for a “welcome to Adelaide” drink 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB537 Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 @Jody @TheReads @Jsmull87 So, finally managed to find this post again! I'm now in living in Adelaide, Seaford Meadows. With the pubs and other entertainment venues starting to open up again, I thought it would be a good time to resurrect this post. If any of you are keen to still meet, PM me (or group chat maybe, if that's possible here?) and we can arrange a time and a place! Hope you're all doing well.

I'm in Seaford Meadows, happy to meet anywhere really. Do you know any decent places to go?

JetBlast Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 The reason I ask is if there are more guys into beers there are a good few places I know that do al sorts of craft beers. But if there is a mix of people there are other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink wise, I'm generally into spirits, and anywhere with music is a plus for me, but I'm also happy just to try out anything different and just see what's about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I have a few ideas. Do you like live music? The Adelaide casino has a roof top bar that’s good for bands and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
