I live in the suburb of Tiwi in Darwin's northern suburbs (just around the corner from Casuarina Shopping Centre and Tracy Village Social and Sports Club - our supporter group home) which has a postcode of 0810 and have lived in this house for 9 of the 10 years I have been in Darwin.

Whilst it's a 6000km return trip to watch a home game the weather is magnificent for most of the year and we don't really have cold weather (the strange winter fashions come out when it goes below 20).

The only thing that would see me return to Adelaide permanently is a job with the club and at the same time I'm working towards a media career here in Darwin.

[MrMeaner]

Hawthorn, Victoria

Loving it, although the suburb is populated by a lot of families (I am quite a way away from having a family at the moment) and it will take along time before I could ever afford to buy a place there (if ever).

I have been in Melbourne for 5 and a half years now. Although I am orginally from Adelaide, Melbourne feels more like home now.

My only gripe is the number of away games we play outside of Melbourne against Vic teams.

[dreamkillers]

My only gripe is the number of away games we play outside of Melbourne against Vic teams.

Well we are quite happy to play the Bulldogs home game against us up here in Darwin each and every year.........there was a chance we were going to lose this game to the ACT but they couldn't quite get the $$'s they were after for the 2nd match.

I have to smirk when people complain about getting to their sporting arenas and petrol prices - Docklands is a 5 minute walk, the MCG (next to where I work) is about a 10 minute walk through birrarung marr...:cool:

mind you the old pay packet doesn’t appreciate the monthly rent ;)

pretty much the complete opposite if eddie_vrv6 - each to their own eh? I sometimes long for the fresh air and open space of the country...

[morell]

Greenacres! You filthy bunch of thugs! :(Ha Ha! You know a teams in trouble when they play within kicking distance of Yatala Prison. You have to wonder if the ball ever goes over the wall at training...

I played against Greenacres once and in the B's was a guy who had played 500 (?) odd games, he would have been in his 50's. Incredible.

[morell]

It's not too bad at all, but i do plan on moving to a big smoke within 12 months..... for a while at least any way I’m sure it’s great, it all depends on where you are at on your life. I would imagine I would retire out in the sticks someday.

I struggle when I come back to Adelaide and stay with my brother in Moana

What do you mean there isn’t a Thai/Vietnamese Restaurant open within walking distance at 11pm on a Monday!!!???

Not sure about footballs but I know that a few baseballs went over the wall when playing that game out there.

Being a mod though I probably fit more in the 'warden' category than that of a 'prisoner'.

Personally, I like the inner suburbs more. I lived in Southbank when I moved over. I found it a little too close to work. I could see the office as I walked in. I find it much more relaxing to not see it until I'm almost right there.

Now, I'm very close to a train line so it only takes me 10 minutes to get to the 'G and about 15 to get to Docklands.

LOL... not that I wanna start BAGGING Melbourne now, but I was astonished that I and a (local) friend were not able to find somewhere decent to eat after about 11 in Fed Square and surrounding areas when I was over there a couple of months ago. On a FRIDAY NIGHT. Ended up going to Hungry Jacks and getting ****ing onion rings.

[dreamkillers]

Beautiful spot. :thumbsu:

Except its a prime Cows area ... :p

Actually you'd be surprised at the number of Port supporters in the area.......especially those that own businesses in the area.

I grew up in Flinders Park but my mother now lives in Malvern around the corner from my sister. When I'm in Adelaide these days I stay there during the week and with my best mate in Seaton (soon to be West Lakes East) for the footy and on weekends.

[shaz63]

Where is that? ;)

A pleasant drive South.

Not as far as some moron keeps carrying on about it. :rolleyes:

[portentous]

My parents live at Seaford, they moved there from West Beach and I have NFI why. It's just so far from Alberton!

[Frank Spencer Clone]

A pleasant drive South.

Not as far as some moron keeps carrying on about it. :rolleyes:
Dioesn't look that far on the map, but it must be a fair way, because last time I drove round that area it took me about 40 minutes to go from Seaford to Hallett Cove And anyone who knows me knows I'm a shocking leadfoot.
Moana is about another 10 kms past Seaford, yes?

Addendum: Pleasant drive South? Of course. The south rules, OK?? :D

Fair question!
Head South for ages, when you get to Noarlunga you're still not there yet and if you hit Maslins you've gone too far.

[blackdiamond]

I played 1986 and 1987 but Im not sure what grades (wore guernsey 7).

Im a bit disappointed I didn't continue on with my footy but as sometimes happens to kids of that age other priorities take over.

I did play a bit of high school footy though and that was a bit of fun.

[Toots Hibbert]

Damn, I played for Greenacres many moons ago. What year and what grade ?
I played against Greenacres about 25 years ago and was hit in the back of the head so often while going for the ball that I had concussion at the end of the match.

Mate it's now the complete opposite as this town is now one of the top 10 booming cities in Australia.

I can't believe the difference regarding Whyalla of 2 years ago to what it is now as old SA housing trust double units are being demolished & replaced with s****y single houses, unemployment right down & decreasing every week.

Whyalla = the city for the future. :thumbsu: :D

[Toots Hibbert]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. :)

The following season we were playing them at home and I got coat hangered by one their mongrels. I was in the half dream room for a short while but when I got up I got in a zone and played really well!

I wasn't always an angel but thuggishness seemed to be a major ingredient in their style of play.

[*PAF]

Way back in the dim dark ages when I ventured down to good ol Adelaide, I lived/shared houses in Magill, Hindmarsh, North Adelaide (several different places), Woodville, Enfield, plus short stays in a few more suburbs here and there. :) :o

Oh yeah, and a semi-short stay at the YMCA in Fliders street for a couple of months when I first got there. That was different, the only other permanents there at the time were Bible-bashers. Some were ok, but some :eek: :p

I guess so, but in 1959 straight from the boat on to a Bluebird to Terowie for a family of 6 naive & very puzzled Pommies it was like stepping back into the wild west days of the American 19th century.

But like i said once we were stopped from being "excluded" & finally "excepted" :) we couldn't wish for a better group of people to be among than the old style country bumpkins of the Aussie bush. :thumbsu:

I should also add that in them days there were still tying up the horses to a railing outside the pubs.

I lived in a small remote town in NSW for a time and it was bad enough not only being from out of town but being from interstate. They would have treated Brit immigrants like martians.

I remember as a six year old my parents coming back from the toilets at the Melbourne train station while waiting to catch the Overland and they were gobsmacked you had to pay to use the toilets. I remember also a few weeks earlier while we were staying at Bonagilla migrant hostel (NSW) the family went for a walk to see Australia's biggest river. My parents were shocked at the small size of the Murray.

hmmmmm..... I don't know about "enjoy". I lived in Port Augusta from the age of 2 to 16 (1974-1988), and I think in those years to some extent it doesn't matter where you live. I liked camping in the Flinders and getting over to Streaky Bay fishing but I guess you could do that from many places. What I value about growing up in Port Augusta is that you meet all sorts of people, mostly genuine hard working "normal" sort of people. I now work in a big multi-national with lots of suits, ties, private schools etc and there are many people there who I am sure have never really met anyone from the "bottom" 90% of the socio economic community.
