try fitzroy, carlton area. since u are driving stay further the city the better but also not so far that u can tram into city

the usual Honda MVP iirc, 1 child seat is facing rear of car inorder to tie it in.

Just got back from Melbourne.. I also had 4 adults 2 kids and used the Kia Carnival... nice big powerful car...

The Kluger should be more fun to drive but shd have luggage problems

thanks for the recommendation. I am used to driving a "small sized" car in Singapore. Never tried a "big sized" one before. U reckon will have any problem with it?

yangs lai lai... i think the thread subject should change to Driving in Adelaide. haha

 

[seianko]

i hv to say there is nth much in ade

so if people is already driving to GoR, that is just another 1-2 hrs drive to Mt gambier just to see pink lake, which is alot jaded compare to the one in WA. cos to drive to MtG, that is a good 5-6 hr drive from adelaide CBD...which, IMHO very nonsense
