Glenelg, Adelaide (6-10km)
Rent: house rentals range from medium to high
Vibe: holidays
Location: Beach, 5-10km from city centre
Glenelg is the best known beach suburb in Adelaide. It's got a busy shopping strip, good access to public transport, schools, eclectic architecture, and is a tourist draw card. It's the Bondi of Sydney but with fewer young people. During weekends and holidays this place gets packed with kids of all ages who head to the amusement park, while adults gravitate to the beach or one of the many cafes. Glenelg used to be a quieter place but development in the 1990s began transforming the suburb into what some locals think has become a rather ugly duckling.

Anyone been to the Barrington Tops. I have heard a bit about this place for bushwalking.
What is it like - water features, lush green, alpine.

Not been there, have heard of it and I'd be keen to find out too. If you get there before I do, drop me a line.

Barrington & Glouster Tops are both fantastic places to walk. Sub Alpine marsh and snow gums up on top of the plateau with great Antarctic Beech and gum forests on the slopes. At the bottom of valleys (eg Williams and Allwyn rivers)there are beautiful sub-tropical rainforests. There are plenty of trails and, potable water and campsites.
Highly recommended

Sounds great. Definitely on my todo list, when I get to Sydney in Feb and get my car over.
Thanks for the info.
