Default Rekkie in May

Hi

Myself, the wife and our two little boys will be doing a Rekkie to Perth, Sydney (and possibly Adelaide too if we can fit it in between) in May.

Just wanted to know from those with experience, where's a good place to base ourselves in these cities while on rekkie?. If we were to migrate we would want to live within 30km of the CBD for work purposes.

I've seen a good deal for a holiday rental in Fairway Circle, Connolly, Perth. Is this a good area?

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated, also like to hear from anyone else doing the trip in May.

The suburb profile on the Aussiemove website states the distance between Connolly and Perth city centre as 24km.

Does anyone know how far the nearest train station is?

Currumbine Train station would be the nearest, have a look at www.googlemaps.com.au

Mate you cant do a 3 capital city reccie in 4 weeks.

Just cannot be done.

You would need 3 weeks minimum in each city.

To peruse suburbs, see real estate agents, look at schooling etc etc etc
