I think the Adelaide central markets should be a great asset.

Also planting some of your own fruit trees should help in future love

This site looks good =)
I've been thinking of going raw too, it looks pretty easy, especially because the idea is to eat mostly fruits (I think?) and fruit is just too awesome!

Avocado and nuts will probably be your new best friend.Shallots and red onion spice up any vegie salad.One qucik green mix I tried once was nice,avocado with celery and shallots. A simple and cheap fruit salad is orange,banana and apple with the juice of one orange and a dash of water.I think banana is a good staple fruit,nice with strawberries or mangos.Sorry I couldn't help you more.

I've also been wanting to go raw after watching Forks Over Knives. I've increased my raw meals, but I guess I'm putting off being 100% raw until I've got a dehydrator, juicer, and a good blender.

Good recipes here:

Good for you matey, I was raw for around 2 years, in the raw community there are two distinct schools of thought. One being the gourmet raw community, which is more recipe based, heavy reliance on nuts and higher fat fruits. The other being the low fat raw vegan crew or 80/10/10 (the eat a ratio of 80%carbs, 10%protein, 10%fat), who eat much simplier and rely pretty much on fruit, example of a meal is like 20 bananas, a great forum www.30bananasaday.com.

My one advice would be not to skimp on calories, it's hard not to when eating raw, since fruit and vegies are not calorie dense foods, so up that intake.

I have been raw vegan for over 3 months,
Ill juice veggies in the morning and have some fruit,
lunch huge fruit salad and nuts
dinner/ snacks greens and fruits.

When you eat high water content foods it keeps you full!

Dumb question: do you mean totally 'clean' foods, or raw as in no heat applied to the food?

Either way, respect. That wouldn't be easy... you'd have to be super organised.
