As a Melbourne living perth raised but very very travelled man, I have spent a lot I time in Adelaide. It all comes down to expectations. If you want a thriving metropolis, to eat out, party, shop, see bands. You'll hate the joint. If you want an oversized country town with all the charm and local feel (which is cool) then you'll love it.
Glenelg is rad. Hahndorf is cool. Victor
harbour in summer is tops. Adelaide had plenty of cool things about it.
But it's a country town. One freeway that only travels in one direction depending on the time of day is pox. The water dead set tastes like arse, as does west end. The nightlife is limited. After you've smashed Glenelg barbecue a few times you realise the eating out options are about as limited as jack newtons ability to clap. And yes there are more bogans than at the Deni ute muster.
But it comes back to your expectations.
Adelaide. You wouldn't wanna live there, but it's rad for a Footy trip.
