canadianaussie Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Lake Macquarie...no question. Much closer to the beach, nice area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everywhere gal Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hi there, all depends on where your jobs are. This is the main thing as you are giving 2 very widely spaced areas as a choice!!! Remember distances for commuting are far far different … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seraphim Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Commutes would be about 10-20 km for penrith and c. 25-45km (minimum) for lake mac (less suburban commute). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everywhere gal Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 well personally i wouldnt go Penrith way, ghastly heat, traffic as is anywhere on a sydney commute is appalling, so looking at western side of Lake Macquarie with access from the now named M1! If you are working in Sydney you could look further down towards the city/suburbs at Central Coast area. Any reasons for Lake macquarie/and or the Penrith area….. to avoid the heat of the Western suburban plain of Penrith you might consider just a few klms further to the foothills of the Blue Mountains, bushfires not withstanding!
