Hi guys.

It looks like i'll be based in Canning Vale, should it all go to plan, so what I'm after knowing is what areas would be a 20 min drive to work?

I've looked at the map and read loads of posts but now my head is spinning, and it has nothing to do with the Pinot!!!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi guys

we are heading further north up to Ocean reef but my cousin lives in Kardinya WA is about 30 mins according to google earth but it is a very nice area and we stayed between fremantle and cotteslow but both are quiet pricey but very nice.

when are you on you way and are you going to essex in June??

Canning vale itself is nice and lots of new houses you've also got some new developments in Southern River, Kardinya is nice, you've got Murdoch, Leeming, Willeton and Bullcreek which are more established suburbs. Rush hour can add a fair bit of time to your journey (which is something to consider). Hubby gets stuck on Tonkin highway going/coming home to/from work (malaga) every morning

Hi

Just one thing to remember if working in the south it is best to live in the south... as the commute in the mornings and evenings will be a killer if you are in the north....
An example of this is my son does gymnastics on a wednesday in subiaco..... it takes us 25 mins to get there from leeming.... during school kick out time and just over half an hour at 4.30.... we literally have to dash out of the building and go for it as if i leave it a minute later we are stuck in grid lock on the highway....

any other time the trip takes under 10 mins.... !!!

so i would agree with ali as to the southern suburbs..

A colleague lives in Port Kennedy and travels to Armadale and it takes her 45 each way - she didn't think it was alot but she says it's taking it's toll everyday. Byford is about 30 to canning vale I live in Leeming and it takes me 20 - 25 mins to get to Armadale
