Cheapest city in Australia to live

Adelaide offers a world-class education system and one of the world’s best lifestyles, but at a much smaller cost.  Accommodation, transport and general living costs are all much cheaper than other Australian mainland cities.

Fantastic shopping and eating

Adelaide boasts great shopping precincts where you can find the latest fashion labels, music, electronic and computer equipment and sporting goods.  It also has lots of cafes, restaurants, bistros and hotels where you can enjoy a fantastic range of multicultural-inspired cuisines, featuring fresh South Australian regional produce.

An adventure playground

Adelaide and South Australia is like a big adventure playground.  Beautiful white sandy beaches and national parks, where you can see koalas, kangaroos, emus, platypus and parrots, are only 20 – 40 minutes from the city.

You can also enjoy activities such as diving, cycling, sailing, surfing, camping, parachuting, sky diving, ballooning, hiking and canoeing by taking a short day trip, or indulging in a weekend escape from your studies.

Centrally located

Adelaide is centrally located making it easy to explore Australia’s other capital cities and iconic tourist attractions.  For example you can fly to Sydney in two hours, Melbourne in one hour, or Perth in three and a half hours.  Alternatively you may wish to experience a unique rail journey by catching The Ghan from Adelaide to Alice Springs and Darwin – a three day trip.
