karlom Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi all, I wonder if someone can answer something for us. We are considering applying for the NSW state sponsorship and not the 175 and we are starting to look at some areas to live in NSW. We would like to live by the sea and dont mind 45 min/1 hr commute to Sydney. Does anyone know how far north or south that would be a normal commutable distance from Sydney to give us an idea where to be looking at property. thanks a lot Karl, Sue and Jessica (3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingnatasha Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 hi it all depends how you plan to commute?? by train you could get a as far as bondi or that way out west try google sydney transport info its something like 13000 to see how long trips take i would personally recommend manly and commute via the ferry its a lovely way to get around. the bus around the northern beaches which are fab can get you (if you get a express) from palm beach to the city in under a hour hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuju Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Have look at the Central Coast we are full of beaches lovely area & plenty to do, approx 40mins from Hornsby & depending where in Sydney you are after 1 - 1.5 hours, plenty of trains run from the coast to into Sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julo Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I live in north west sydney not near a beach unfortunately! but it only takes me 20 mins to get into work if i get the express bus - you have to have a bus pass and it only stops at a few stops. This really shortens my journey. If i was to drive it could easily take 1 hr!! as its bus lanes all the way so look into express buses too.

peeka Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Not sure if you are aware but on the state sponsorship route you are only permitted to live and work in certain postcodes - its maybe worth checking this out as this would offer restrictions. We are going via this route but to Queensland and the postcodes are more 'rural' as an example the Gold Coast is out of the question! We have to live in a regional postcode for 2 years and work in a regional postcode for 1 year. Hope this helps.

karlom Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 thanks Peeka, I did not know that, I must look into it before we go any further regards Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluster13 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi, I've been looking at similar things as we are hoping to be in Sydney for October. If you google map sydney (then zoom out a bit) right click on the map and you can then do a "get directions from here" or "to here" and it will show you the best route and travel time. Hope this helps.:idea: Steve, Cath and maddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
