When I visit Canberra I love to head down to Bateman's Bay for a feed on the wharf.!! Also Bungendore for the amazing one-off timber stuff.!! :angel:

There's this guy in Bungendore (well he used to be). He used to specialise in the use of pine and we had some custom-made units built in an earlier iteration of his business (1980's) that we still have around.

Looks like he may have diversified his use of woods.

I have only ever visited Adelaide once -just a few days- and was most impressed by the city.

Umm, I would tend to agree, I used to drive interstate, and that's one place I couldn't get out of quick enough. There are some nice surrounding areas, like down south such as McLaren Vale, or little towns like Hahndorf.

Hello,

I like Adelaide as it is much like a big Canberra in the feel of the place. Like all big places there is a dark side. I doubt the author knew much or did much research. Lazy fool.

Robster · June 24, 2014, 11:42:11 AM

:agreed: We're pretty proud of the place.!!:angel:

I've lived in Adelaide for 3 years now. It's hard to get the New South Welshman out of me but I like this place. The sun rises over the hills instead of the water which is weird for me. I'm not a city person so I guess this is the city to live in. You can't get lost anywhere, drive too far one way you hit the water, too far the other you get the hills. At any given time you can see the hills so I always have my bearings. I don't live right in the city but I can hop on the O'Bahn bus and be there in 15 mins. I don't think you can ask for more than that.

I think that people who feel the need to put down other places that are (generally smaller) than where they live are just expressing a feeling that there's something missing where they live now. It's no different that putting someone down just to make yourself feel better.

Adelaide is a nice, quiet sleepy sort of city. A city of Churches. Can't get lost as everyone is forever telling to go home...........
