How long commuting in Oz?
Just wondering how long on average people spend commuting to work in Oz.
I spend at least 4 and a half hours per day commuting to from a job I hate in the UK with just the thought of emigrating keeping me going. I am thinking/ hoping that when in Oz I will spend a maximum of two hours a day, but am hoping for less so I can spend some more quality time with the family. Kevin |

Kevin However it now takes 30 seconds as I just have to walk downstairs! :D |
My husband takes about 45 min each way to get to work. My trip is about 35min.

Good post
London - for me from time to leave home to get to office 1.5 - 2 hours.
Australia - where I may end up living, it might even be - 2 hours - if I go with the stress job - but - I think it will be a more pleasant 2 hours. I know - as I have done it. badge |

Kevin 22 mins push bike 50-60 mins tram 60 mins car (journey 45 mins, park up, walk to office) Normally go by bike - especially in the rain when tram or car is even longer! Bike journey would be quicker if I didn't get held up by cars :D |
17kms from Brisbane - about 35-40 mins in the car. Train from Manly (closest station - 5-10 min drive away) is 35 mins.

Clean and cheap but too long. I'm going out to get a big 4 litre gas guzzling Falcon wagon at the weekend so I can get to work in 35 minutes instead. Also so I can go windsurfing on the Swan river after work. |
