Only its a "how long is a piece of string" question otherwise. I have 4 mates who commute from Brisbane to Cairns at present, admittedly on a weekly basis, but give us more info and we can more helpful.

Have you looked at the Springfield Lakes or Brookwater area?
New suburb which is the fastest growing area of Brisbane. You will find info on www.delfinrealty.com.au.

Hi Pete
We are in Forest Lakes and its usually a 45 minute drive in the morning rush hour to the CBD and around 30 mins any other time.

Re: Commuting Distance From Brisbane Cbd?
Also, you need to consider what you are looking for in a suburb. I am a big fan of the 'original' suburbs, nice Queenslanders, nice feel about them. At the weekend I ended up in an area I've never been to before, one of the more recently built suburbs, and it was full of brick houses (nothing wrong there, but I do love my Queenslander) and felt a bit sterile. It may have something to do with the burb being designed before being built, whereas the older suburbs just evolved.
