Our original plan was for family to pick us up but we have agreed we would rather get over our jetlag first and stay somewhere for a few days. We have had a quote from a company on the gold coast, but i must say they are thorough on what they have provided within the list. But as yet I havent looked on the sunny coast for meet and greets. Has anyone any experience of them and if so, what did you reckon??? cheers

In the past, I've had guests who have booked our rental also have booked the free Meet and Greet service and so both of us are waiting there at the airport! The Gov one offers loads of info/ maps of Adelaide and forms that you need to fill out for Medicare. They will talk you through what you need to do to get started in Aus. These people are volunteers themselves who wish to help and in my experience have always been warm hearted people. Personally I don't think you need to pay for a service like that, as after the jet lag has worn off, you'll be keen to do some exploring yourself and if someone has already pointed you in the right direction, do you really need to pay for an extra service?
