Is Perth commutable from Mandurah?
I've seen that Mandurah is about 80kms south of Perth, but is there anyone in Oz that can tell me if it is realistically commutable to the CBD by train or decent roads?

Re: Is Perth commutable from Mandurah?
There are many people that commute now as it is only an hour now. The freeway goes down as far as Rockingham but will soon extend to Mandurah. The train will be there once all the unions get their arse into gear and finish it. I think the train could be around 45 to 50 mins but not sure.
