Yo, I is from Adelaide. Its a nice city, plenty to do. I have been around Europe a bit, and really can't complain.
I used to live there. I lived on Bedford right across the streets from the Train tracks. Dreadful place cause we had no air con, so I would hear every train that went by. But it was really cheap, and I loved Newtown, lots of good restaurants, bars and shops. Loved the Marlboro. Got banned from there, though, after sneaking past security one night.
