Guest cherylnandy Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thanks Cal, are the trains as reliable as good old British Rail ? -- Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Liz and Paul Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi Andy, There are many suburbs in Brisbane if thats what you're after, public transport in Oz is loads better than over here. However because the population is not so dense as UK towns, if you fancy a beach location, the Gold Coast is within commuting distance of Brisbane, approx 40 mins (correct me if I'm wrong anyone) as the motorway (M1) runs straight up from the Gold Coast towards Brisbane.

Guest dwaldron Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Well here in Melbourne people start jumping up and down when a train is 5 minutes late, they seem to forget that an extraordinary number of them arrive on time, I've been quite impressed.
