I get Keoride - it is a brilliant service. My last trip cost me $2.00. For a taxi the same distance would have cost me $22.00.

Hello I really like Lane Cove - which is a northern suburb It has got a really fast direct Express bus service into the CBD. I know because I caught it by accident - takes 15 mins. It is in your house price range. It has a lovely little village-like community, great food shopping (Harris Farm is amazing), post office, restaurants and cafes. Got a really excellent Aquatic center with indoor and outdoor pools, gym, spa, sauna & steam room. The suburb is surrounded by the Lane Cove National Park, where you have boating, running trails, biking, and bush walks. It is 3km from Chatswoood, which is a larger suburb with two massive shopping centers, restaurants, banks, markets, doctors, schools, a train station and a bus depot. Plus 3km from RNS Hospital. And it is 11kms from the Sydney CBD, and takes about 15 - 30 minutes to drive a car (depending if you travel the early tradie rush hour, or the late school rush hour) traffic during the week. Last Sunday took me 15 mins to drive from Lane Cove to Darling Harbour. I used the M1 motorway and cross city tunnel. Just a nice all-round place.

Totally disagree. But never mind.

Hello Yes, that is fine for the average family in the suburbs - you can live comfortably Obviously if you want to to live in Vaucluse, eat a posh restaurants every night and send your children to private school - then that will be an issue on 100K.

Sadly that is no longer true.

Hello Loads of different stores to get quality furniture and furnishings from You could buy antique or get bespoke handcarved Harvey Norman has some good stuff, as does Myer, Fanuli, David Jones, Matt Blatt, Zjoosh, Temple & Webster, Peters of Kensington and Harris Scarfe There is something wrong, if you cannot find something good at one of these places.

Hello Bit late now, since we are coming into warmer weather But ozwearugg have a factory outlet in Rydalmere NSW 2116 You can get some great deals. I brought some fabulous fur lined boots in June (see photo below) and they cost $99.00 in a sale. Been great all over winter for walking and keeping feet warm I saw the exact same boots in a Chatswood Ugg store yesterday, and they were $400.00 They have a wide range of slippers there too - but to get the cheap prices you have to visit the factory outlet

Do they? Not found that myself.

Hello There Central Coast in NSW could be a possibility Tuggerawong is near the beach, but also classed as rural with bush and farmland - and is 7klm from the nearest big town Looking on Real Estate Online I see for that area: To buy 17.3 acres of land costs just under a million To buy a four bed-roomed family home is $750,000 To rent a three bed-roomed family home is $400 a week If you got a job in Hornsby or Newcastle - Tuggerawong is an hours drive from both locations along the M1 motorway (plus 7klm from the railway line connecting to both Sydney and Newcastle) It is a very nice place. That is my best suggestion

Hello there I have sent you a PM with a suggestion of a decent place.

I would not expect them to. I never said that. I said would they consider it as an option.

? You miss my point I am in Sydney. And had friends and relations in the UK ringing, and emailing, in panic as they think the city has burnt to the ground. Some of the media in the UK (particularly the Daily Fail Mail) has been reporting the most exaggerated stuff and putting Armageddon fear of God into people. When in reality, for most cities, life is continuing as normal apart from some smoke. Brisbane city centre is not on fire. Just saying to keep things in perspective Hope you understand the meaning of my comment now

Lucky you - so envious

???? Oh well, sooner they get in line, the better eh!

Well please remember that the media exists to make money - most of that by fear mongering Yes things are horrific and far worse than usual this year But in Brisbane CBD.... well life goes on as normal Keep it in perspective .
