Where would you live if you wanted to be able to commute by car into work and there be virtually no traffic? Adelaide?
How does traffic in Adelaide compare to Brisbane? Traffic here is about 50% beyond an acceptable level.

I regularly drive from the Eastern Subs to North Syd and Chatwood. It takes me half an hour to drive, half an hour to ride a bike, and half an hour to get the train. So I choose the luxury of my own car. I strike some traffic getting onto the harbour bridge where 3 lanes merge to 1, but other than that, there's really no traffic issues.

Ok so what type of accommodation are you looking for? Do you want nightlife,or quiet.
Mawson Lakes has lots of rentals, you can commute to Salisbury on the Train. Train to city is good as well,with cheap fares,so night life and shopping. Large student population.We lived there for 4 Years.15 minute drive to Salisbury
I now live in Greenwith, 15 minute drive.
Gawler near Barossa lovely country town 30 minute Drive but Train also available. We lived there when kids went to school.
You could also live in CBD but I would only take train as daily driving would not be my choice.45mins but this is dependent on traffic.

Looking for as quiet and rural as possible. We would like some land to grow veg as well as space for chickens, dog. I don't know if you know Brisbane but somewhere like Beenleigh or Samford Valley would approximate.

Do not know Brisbane.
Areas around Angle Vale But no Train here.This area is very flat lots of market garden growers in this area.
Gawler Belt no train but short drive to Gawler.Large allotments.
Roseworthy no train short drive to Gawler,large allotments space to grow veg and have chickens.
Lyndoch in the Barossa is a favorite of mine as well.
But to be honest rent for a while and see where you like best.
