It's nice here

Adelaide and South Australia has a bad rap with some Australians as being parochial, full of churches, petrol heads, bikies, bad haircuts and wierd murderers. Many people from outside Australia have never heard of it, although the Economist Intelligence Unit recently ranked it in the top 10 for the worlds most liveable cities, significantly higher than Port Moresby, Cumbernauld, Kabul and Baghdad. All I want to say is that it is nice here. After too many years of Scottish winters and hit and miss summers, I am happy to take advantage of the predictably nice weather and low stress lifestyle. I have not lived anywhere else that has such nice unspoilt and relatively unused beaches within easy reach of such a large population. The kids and the dog love to run and play in the sand and sea. We often go and find that there is nobody within 200 metres. Anyway I will take it. It suits me. You are welcome to beach crowds like those in the photograph.
