i live in the south coast of Adelaide, and people say its boring here but really is just laid back and allows you to enjoy the little things, like the beaches and nature, old buildings, good communities
I have family in Adelaide, I have spent around 8 months there and I think it's an awesome city, it's definitely a place I could see my self buying a house and settling down in.
My hometown.. RADELAIDE!!! 14:20 you are meant to interpret installation art just as you did. Its about what it makes you feel/think of. I love Adelaide sunsets, always over the Ocean...
I found your vlogs through searching Hull (or something similar) into YT a few years back as I was homesick at the time from leaving Brough to live in Adelaide and now you’re here!! That is crazy to me!
ah no way!! This is such a lovely fully circle moment and also super crazy because what a small world!! Hope you're doing okay, we absolutely loved Adelaide!!xx
@@MollyThompsonx_ and we had a couple of hair raising adventures on the trips up and back. When running out of fuel late at night when we decided to take the scenic (but 6 hours longer) Great Ocean rd route - in the middle of the Otway Ranges, in the dark, no phone reception, encountering a wombat crossing our path the size of a large pig, going to a pay phone and having a backpacker pop up out of nowhere like a horror movie (poor guy was sleeping at a bench nearby). Or the time when a logging truck lost a bunch of logs seconds after we crossed its path (I kid you not!). Crazy times but so memorable. Thanks for your vids - absolutely the most enjoyable vlogs!
That's great, we used to go to Melbourne often from Adelaide in the late 70's and early 80's until longer term life goals put a stop to that. We'd travel to Sydney occasionally. Those were the days of a vibrant pub band culture Australia wide and simply because so many things would pass Adelaide by unfortunately. I reckon that was part of the reason why Australians were and probably are such good long term world travellers. Distance! Ha! We laugh at it. We used to look forward to the next road trip, sometimes by train. It was fun. I can well imagine people not used to the distances to not quite get it until you put it this way. What choice did we have? By the way, they were days when hitch-hiking was really common.
Victor Harbor and a walk across the sea to Granite Island and Port Elliott (Flying Fish restaurant there is lovely) would have been a good choice to add in to your trip to Adelaide and maybe a visit to Kangaroo Creek reservoir and then further across to Cleland park in the Adelaide hills to say hello to some freely roaming wild life.
It’s an exquisite city. You may have missed the distinction being the gracious architecture and gardens and parklands. Had you had gotten to the botanic gardens and adjoining national wine centre you may have appreciated the city centre more.
Yeah...you won't find food on North Terrace... you have to go through side streets or Rundle street has heaps. Peel and Bank street are very good though :)
Just for the geography nerds. The next land mass west of Adelaide isn’t Madagascar it is Yorke Peninsula, after that is Eyre Peninsula then all of The Great Australian Bight or Nullarbor Plain, then Western Australia and Then is Madagascar 👍🏻
Henley Beach does indeed look very livable 💓 How could you not mention the time zone is an Adelaide the only time zone that is on the half hour difference from London and New York etc.?
I TOTALLY FORGOT to mention this in the vlog but you are SO right, really really bizarre, never been anywhere else on a half hour timezone change, it made it VERY confusing hahaa
Adelaide looks lovely, glad you had a great time! Do you by any chance have a google doc or any notes on your east coast trip? I’m wanting to start planning my trip but not sure where to start! Also, I know you’ve mentioned it before but what backpack do you use again? Thanks! 🥰 x
Thank you so much!! We planned our whole east coast trip with the help of Welcome To Travel so I do really recommend dropping them a message on instagram or to the email in their website - they can completely custom build you a trip to suit your style of travel and your budget, plus they run really amazing group tours!! (sounds like an ad, isn't I just love them hahaa) but my backpack is the Mountain Warehouse 60L+20L backpack in their purpley/berry shade!! xx
The last place you went to, Henley Beach, was not too long ago a dowdy, boring beachside suburb, until the Greek-Australian community developed it and turned it into one of Adelaide's most desirable areas with all the restaurants and new property developments. Starting off with one restaurant offering delicious Greek food and outdoor seating, to becoming a culinary and busy social destination, alla Mediterranean style.
I live in Adelaide 😊 There were a few places you visited that I had never heard of, like that Museum of Discovery 🤔 I remember the weekend that you were over, it was the Mother’s Day weekend. (in Australia) The weather was unseasonally warm in Adelaide that weekend 😊 Glad you enjoyed it here 👍 Haven’t seen that giraffe sculpture either 😮
Thanks for another great vlog Molly 😊❤ just wondering if u & Tom would do a video trying some of the snacks that they have over there that we dont have here in the uk 🇬🇧 they seem to have quite a lot of different choc bars etc so interesting to know what they're loke 😁xx
We deffo can film a video like that - you're right! There's so many cool snacks here, we definitely wanna try as many as we can before we go! We did film a few similar while we were in melbourne though! xx
@MollyThompsonx_ oh great will b fab if u do manage to film one like that! Yeah i watched the video where u did the Australian vs British food if thats the one ure on about, ill definitely of seen it if it isnt that though as watch all of ur u tubes 🥰xx
Now hang on let me work this out .If i travel to China or japan that takes me 7-9 hours if I live in the USA it takes 11-15 hours ,If I live in the UK its 11 12 hours so, you need to place this into context because "other places"could be Asia which is where the majority of people live and we are closer to Asia than the USA or the Uk, so it depends on your perception of what "other places " is . Here is another fun fact if you lived in New York and your family lives in Hawaii it would take you longer than 11 hours to visit them .If you lived in Sydney it would take you less than 10 hours .
I would say it's definitely quite hard right now, i can't really comment on what it was like before but I do know people are finding it difficult, not impossible though - it's just taking longer than normal I think! It being winter is definitely helping with the housing issue in the major cities though as a lot of people/seasonal visitors have left Sydney and Melbs for the winter now!
Adelaide is hands down better than Brisbane... and I have no idea why people like Melbourne so much .. besides food, what is thete yo do? I prefer Adelaide to Melbourne.
+++🐸🦘+++YES ADELAIDE 🦘 IS SO UNDERATED 🙁 + I'VE LIVED HERE 4 YEARS + HAVE BEEN 2 MOST CAPITAL CITIES 🦘 + VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD 🛃 + ARE ALWAYS KEEN 2 GET BACK 2 ADELAIDE+++I 🐸 LIKE "THE LAYEDBACK LIFESTYLE 🤣" WE HAVE+++I LOVE 🥰 ADELAIDE+++THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE+++🤣

Ahh thank you so much for watching, we actually really really enjoyed our time visiting Adelaide, I'll definitely be back one day!!x
I have family in Adelaide, I have spent around 8 months there and I think it's an awesome city, it's definitely a place I could see my self buying a house and settling down in.
It really is somewhere you could so easily move to to live, we really really liked it haha!x
Been living here all my life and I can say that this city is a great city and it's nothing like what people say it is.
My hometown.. RADELAIDE!!!
14:20 you are meant to interpret installation art just as you did. Its about what it makes you feel/think of.
I love Adelaide sunsets, always over the Ocean...
Hope you enjoy Adelaide! I love calling this city home.
Adelaide was underrated! 🔥
it deffo was!! 🔥💖
Adelaide sunsets!😍 thanks for showing off Adelaide. Really excited to add Adelaide to the Australia travel bucket list☺️
Definitely worth a visit!! The sunsets in South and West Australia so far have been uNREAL!
I found your vlogs through searching Hull (or something similar) into YT a few years back as I was homesick at the time from leaving Brough to live in Adelaide and now you’re here!! That is crazy to me!

I'm from Melbourne and can say I quite like Adelaide. My friends and I used to road trip to Adelaide often in our 20s. Great times.
ah no way!! That'd be such a fun road trip!!

Me and my family (husband and our 2 sons age 2 and 8 months) are thinking of moving to Adelaide from uk! Looks gorgeous xxxx
Ahh no way!! We stayed with family friends that emigrated to Adelaide and absolutely love it here - such a lovely place to bring up kids for sure!🫶✨
Yeah...you won't find food on North Terrace... you have to go through side streets or Rundle street has heaps. Peel and Bank street are very good though :)
Those mint Twirls look exactly the same as the ones here in the UK. They may be the same if they've been imported, so should taste good!
ahhh no way!! I've never seen those in the UK!! but maybe I've never been looking hahaha
Thankou for loving my home town ❤️
We had the best time! Definitely wanna come back!!
Just for the geography nerds. The next land mass west of Adelaide isn’t Madagascar it is Yorke Peninsula, after that is Eyre Peninsula then all of The Great Australian Bight or Nullarbor Plain, then Western Australia and Then is Madagascar 👍🏻
Cafe Bang Bang has great coffee! It's also where my partner and I had our first date :)
Henley Beach does indeed look very livable 💓

As someone from Adelaide, welcome and I believe you sounds like Harry Caine
Hahahaha thank you for watching, this comment made Tom laugh🤣😭
The red thread thingy looked like you had entered the upside-down. You were in stranger things for a moment there, lol. Adelaide is beautiful.
hahahaha this is such a good description of it, it really did haha!! It was lovely though we really enjoyed it!!
The next landmass is kangaroo island 😊
Hi! Molly.😊😊😊❤❤❤

Now hang on let me work this out .If i travel to China or japan that takes me 7-9 hours if I live in the USA it takes 11-15 hours ,If I live in the UK its 11 12 hours so, you need to place this into context because "other places"could be Asia which is where the majority of people live and we are closer to Asia than the USA or the Uk, so it depends on your perception of what "other places " is . Here is another fun fact if you lived in New York and your family lives in Hawaii it would take you longer than 11 hours to visit them .If you lived in Sydney it would take you less than 10 hours .
Are people really finding it hard to find accommodation and work on a WHV at the moment? It seems that way from what I’m seeing on Facebook groups
I would say it's definitely quite hard right now, i can't really comment on what it was like before but I do know people are finding it difficult, not impossible though - it's just taking longer than normal I think! It being winter is definitely helping with the housing issue in the major cities though as a lot of people/seasonal visitors have left Sydney and Melbs for the winter now!
How are both OK? So take care both ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖
We're good thank you!! Thank you so much for watching!! 💖
@@MollyThompsonx_ OK 💖💖💖❤❤
Adelaide is hands down better than Brisbane... and I have no idea why people like Melbourne so much .. besides food, what is thete yo do?
I prefer Adelaide to Melbourne.
It’s a far bigger and more modern CBD for starters and I love the ferry’s in Brisbane.
Better swimming beaches further south .. shh but don’t tell too many people …. just up the road to us.
Having a skin care routine mid way through a travel vlog
....kinda wrecked it for me 👎
You dingbat booking the wrong date because you leave your computer on UK time. 😂
I wanted to see how far Tom got on the pain tester 😜😂
Hahahaha he got to the final round, claiming it 'didn't hurt' lol 😂😂
the ADHD crowd would not like Adelaide because they can't jump out of a plane with out a parachute.
🥰🌟💕
Girl, it would have been nice if you had talked less and showed more of the city!
Hell9
Too much talk not to the point
