I would worry more about the roads, there are plans for some big highway projects in WA

Thats ok, the reason i am asking is to make sure that there will be adequate ways of getting into perth from wherever we decide to put down our roots ...

Transport infrastructure is something we're considering as we try and find somewhere to settle. We're currently at the in-laws in Mindarie )about 30 km north of Perth) and the Clarkson train station opened today giving a 32 minute (allegedly) ride into the city. This far out suddenly becomes realistic for commuting. I also know they're extending the rail links south towards Mandurrah. I hear the traffic can be bad in Perth but I guess it's all relative. I was in Sydney for a few days before finally landing out here and, believe me, that's hell on wheels.

My mate and I used to joke in Hobart - three cars lined up at the lights, its a traffic jam :D
People I work with in Brisbane drive maybe 30 mins to work, in traffic that moves at a reasonable steady speed all the way, no actual bottlenecks or holdups, no stopping - yet they complain! When i try and describe the M25 its beyond their comprehension. So yes, its all relative.
