Hi gary, whilst this might be a source of much mirth in the eastern states. I prefer to live here than the hell holes on the east coast. I have lived in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne and I can tell you I prefer the big country town. The population here is much smaller and that means a nicer life.
To be fair with the express way, it being a sore point here in SA even for us, it was built at a time when SA was basically broke after the State bank disaster. At the time it would have only cost another 50 million to duplicate the road but such was the state of coffers that we could not even afford that. Right now it is a nighmare but by 2014 it will be working as it should have from the beginning.
Mike, SA has had good weather for over a month or so now, but with quite a few hot spells. 42 today but couple of weeks ago we had a very hot run. Most likely not anything like you are accustomed to, but it is a pure dry heat which is often better than humidity. A change will move through later and cool down quite a lot. Good luck with your visit here. Perhaps you should have asked your work for a hire car fee. 50 buck a day gets you a pretty reasonable set of wheels at Hertz.
