Our house is in the popular, central seaside suburb of Henley Beach South. It’s a short stroll to the beach which is ideal for swimming and long walks. The city’s CBD is 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) away, via easy car trip or nearby bus.

The house is in a quiet street and has a nice outlook over the park that is opposite. Cycling tracks and tennis courts are close by.

Our car is available for reasonable travel. Tour the Adelaide Hills, many beaches and world-renowned wineries.

Adelaide has very large suburban shopping centres. The West Lakes shopping/cinema complex and football stadium (Australian Rules football) are a few kilometres away.

I am a senior policy officer for the Education Department (age 53), my wife is a librarian (49) and our younger son (17) is a student living at home with us.

We have a cat that would need to be looked after.
