Answer 1

hi if you are looking to rent a house it would cost around $300-$400 in South Western Adelaide which I think is a good location in terms of felicities like schools, and shops nice place for a family. You can get rent cheaper if you are looking for an apartment which would be smaller then a house. Do not rent up north of Adelaide such as out Salisbury or Elizabeth these areas are bad rough and cheap. I would say South of Adelaide but don't go to South it would be getting to far away from the city. Internet costs are $30- $60 a month. Some living expenses in Adelaide are cheaper then other states. If you need to know more please email me.

Answer 2

The following information is what I pay but it should be a rough guide as to what the cost of living is in Adelaide.

1. Food about $150 a week

2. Rent about $300 to $400 a week

3. Electricity about $70 a week

4. Water about $70 a week

5. Telephone about $10 a week

6. Internet about $17 a week for 12 Gigabites a month

7. Gas about $10 a week if house has gas heater

8. Transportation Petrol is about $1.55 a litre at the moment and would cost about $70 to fill up your car depending on the size of your cars fuel tank. Public buses cost $4.20 for an adult and $2.00 after your daughter turns 5 (but free until then)
