It’s strange to see but our nature is to hold on to things we’ve known for a long time even when they no longer hold true, but Adelaide is now an objectively better place to live than Melbourne.

Adelaide has arguably the best climate of any Aussie city, pretty good beaches, its by far the best planned city and small enough so as to not be a nightmare for traffic, it’s got the hills and the Barossa next door, very good healthcare and schools, access to very good food both from sea and land, Victor Harbour and KI a short trip away for holidays, and it’s renowned for festivals and arts.

It’s basically the ideal place for seniors or late career people.

Probably all it’s lacking is better flight connections but once you get on and don’t travel as much or as far, this becomes less of an issue.

It’s Australia’s version of Florida where seniors are going to want to go for comfortable retirement.
