If it ends up being the Parramatta Office I would suggest Baulkham Hills, Winston Hills, Northmead. I haven't mentioned the other Hills suburbs because Old Northern Road, Windsor and Old Windsor Roads are dreadful morning and evening peaks. The suburbs I've mentioned mean that you don't have to enter Windsor road until north Parramatta,making the commute reasonable. Schools are excellent and plenty of other facilities, as there are all over the Hills District.

Hi Ellie, thanks. Could you clarify approx commute time from the suburbs you mention to Parramatta? Thx

Thanks to both of you, I will go and have a good look at the suburbs you mention. In NZ, OH currently commutes by car for 1.5hrs each way and that is a huge problem, so we def want to reduce that, but I guess our main priority would be good schools and access to facilities!!

Here we live on a small estate in the middle of nowhere, with no facilities!! Driving us insane, so yes we def want a pub/cafes/shops/ other people!! etc nearby..

Hi all

I know you will have seen people asking these questions a million times, but could anyone help us please? We currently live in NZ, but we are considering a transfer to Sydney with my OHs employer.

He would be based in a Parramatta office, but also has an office in the main cbd. We are looking for some advice on suburbs between the 2 areas please or suggestions of anywhere else assuming commute is less than 30-40 mins(with relatively easy commutes). We are a family with a 4 year old, who I believe would start school end of Jan, so we need to narrow down to suburbs with good primary schools. We would be looking to rent and would be looking around the $600-$700 per week mark.

Could anyone give me a start point? We have been to Sydney before but only as tourists, so we are aware of the scale of Sydney!! We started looking on real estate, but there are just too many suburbs!! No idea where to start...

Thanks!!

Hi could you advise us on the following car:

1) Year/make/model/mileage/aircon or no aircon - 2010 Peugeot 3008 2 litre HDI (150 bhp version),Exclusive (top of the range with aircon & panoramic roof), 38,000 miles, manual transmission

2) Market value in the UK (be realistic!) - £10,000- £12,000

3) Market value in Australia - $25,100 - $27,900 (based on private price on red car - but not sure which model is comparable?), on second hand dealer sites it seems to have price tag of around $30,000 - $35,000

Thanks!
