Moving to Adelaide South Australia..

Adelaide is situated in the southern Central region of Australia. History wise is very modern. The state of South Australia became a state in 1836. For many years it slowed in development mainly farming. Mining in the Northern regions and later Grapes and citrus crops helped boost the economy and landscape.

After world war 2 migration boosted the state with vast quantities of Europeans and English moving into the state over the next 30 years. So much so the state of South Australia adopted its very own multi national characteristics during this time with a large English, Italian and Greek community. video
