When you headed out??? Cityboy We're not going 'til June, Haven't decided whether to get a short term rental or to stay with some friends yet - but still time to decide! - I haven't found anyone doing short term rentals in and around Gawler yet - it all seems to be near the beach or in the CBD. Maybe have a PIO social when we're out, be good to put a few faces to the names!! Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cityboy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hi Dan I booked my short term rental on the net. Try www.holidaylets.com.au/sa/gawler. The place we have is fully furnished and is in Gawler. Our shipping takes about 8 weeks to arrive, so I decided to rent this place short term. I think it is on Gawler Terrace, which is off Murrey St in Gawler. Will be nice to able to walk to work for a while. As I mentioned, we can then use that as a base and explore the surrounds from there wrt to schools, amenities etc. Been looking at Tanunda and Nuriootpa , Angaston and Lyndoch. Obviously will get a feel for aplace when we get there. Try the website above, any probs let me know. Cheers, CITYBOY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Gawler terrace then that's exactly where we want to live - I would love to build something there if I could the views are pretty special. I'll have a look at the link you have posted and may be in touch later if that's ok. We will need easy access to Adelaide as my boys may go to the Uni and so we can't be much further out than Gawler - plus we are city people anyway.

Guest cityboy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey Daniel, I gave you the incorrect web address. The correct one is, www.renta-home.com.au. There is a link on there for SA and the propeties available. Look up the rivergum property. It is a holiday home let. Best wishes, Cityboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best wishes, Cityboy Yeah thanks cityboy, I actually worked it out last night with other info you had supplied - unfortunately someone has already booked it for 4 nights in July right in the middle of the time we would need it - so I may email them but it doesn't look promising - you will love it though - it's in a great location, you wait 'til you see the properties around, very exclusive and architect designed houses! Thanks again Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cityboy Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi Daniel. I presume you have been there before? I am not sure what Gawler is like, heard both good and bad, although it is handy for the city. I Have you been out to Oz to live before or just to visit. We arrive on the 10th and the people I working for have provided on arrival accommadation in Semaphore and a hire car for two weeks on arrival which aint bad. Have you got familt out that way? You may be able to work around thedates on offer from the property owners. Cheers, Cityboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked Gawler - but it's about to change completely with new infrastructure going in etc - they want to double the population over the next few years and therefore it looks like the time to buy land/house etc. I have close friends there but not family, I worked together with them for a few years when I was in Essex so we'll see how it goes but I'm looking forward to it.

Guest mandisfam Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hi folks, Haven't been on PIO for ages. But have really enjoyed reading this thread, lovely to read some well balanced views on Adelaide. Its always been our number 1 choice, having considered nearly all other cities in Australia, its the only one that we feel comfortable with....sounds odd I know but the more I read about the place the more it just feels right. Having a couple of friends in Adelaide helps to. Good luck everyone making the move over there soon, we hope to be there by May 2010.

Mmmm I would work on 10-12 weeks to be safe, they are always optimistic with shipping estimates, plus it can take a couple of weeks to clear customs after it has landed. If you can afford it it is good to overlap a new long term unfurnished rental with your furnished one for a few days - less stressful and you can have stuff delivered, unpacked and all nice to move into. :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you like Adelaide over Perth? Daniel Hi Daniel, Im currently "inbetween jobs" at the moment but my backround is the mining industry. Perth has its good points but the cost of living was quite high when we went there(2006) ,and at the time I could not get the work I was looking for. As for wine the irony is I hate the stuff and my wife gets it for free from her work !!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I havent looked at old posts so whats the go with moving to Gawler ? I am a church pastor and our denomination has a small church there (the only one we have in Aus) and I have been asked to help out - so i am currently handing over the church i pastor in Paisley (will be done by end of Feb) and then come out with my wife & twin boys (17) in June next year. I also run businesses to help with income (mainly property related) so may set something up when I'm out as well. Can't wait, we have been talking about coming to Aus for past 12 years or so and so when the opportunity arose we have grabbed it with both hands. Never expected it would be Adelaide area but really happy it is. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roland Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 How do the boys feel about such a move??.Gawler and surrounds would be a good area to get into property wise as just down the road a new delfin estate is being built and the new expressway should be finished by september 2010.

I saw it happen a few times in the UK during the 90's and 00's but got in to things quite late so it will be good to part of it happening in Gawler area. The Boys can't wait although Girlfriends are now currently working out how they can follow!! We have moved quite often as a family and travelled extensively so I think we are as prepared as we can be for this move. I must say again that although Adelaide area wouldn't have been out 1st choice I've got a funny feeling it's going to be perfect for us.

Guest cityboy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Roland. Cheers for the offer. We are jetting off in 2 weeks, house not even packed yet and still wrappng xmas presents!! In your experience , where is the best place to reside in the Barossa wrt to schools etc. I quite fancy Angaston from what I have read, not sure how long the commute to the CBD and beach would from there though. I guess you are back in Nuri. We are lokking for something semi rural with a not too long drive to the CBD. Presumably the public transport in the Barossa is limited. Any advice graetley appreciated.

Guest cityboy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Daniel Having read you are a church pastor, our local church arranged a concert for third world maternity awareness. I was asked to play drums whuch I agreed to do only to find it was all U2 songs !!!!(U2CHIRIST MOVEMENT). I love playing drums but took no pleasure in playing U2!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyhow, if you have thoughts on forming a chuch band, give me a shout. (NO U2 ALLOWED) Best wishes, Cityboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
