South Australia’s 2nd largest “city” is in dire need of an upgrade. It is 5-10 years behind the rest of the country with very little to see & do. Shopping options are dismal (the place doesn’t even have a Target). The town lacks cafe & restaurant options. They don’t even have basic takeaway options such as Grill’d, Guzman y Gomez or Schnitz etc. Need to see a GP? A lot of the clinics don’t accept new patients or you may be told “there’s a 7 week wait”. Are you a working mother? Say farewell to your career! There is no childcare! Most working families face a 2 year+ wait for a childcare spot. And after that 2 year+ waiting period you may only be offered 1 or 2 days of childcare per week. The property prices are very reasonable, but ultimately, moving here is just not worth it! You will be bored (and unable to work!). On a positive note - the town has a pretty decent Dan Murphys (which you will need if you move here).
