Wookiee Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hi I'm wondering if any of you or your other half's commute into the CBD from mornington? Seems like a long journey but maybe it's worth it? Cheers Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwl Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Guys ! Check out Petals post on the Victoria section regarding house prices in the Melbourne area. Very interesting for those going over soon. I think renting is definately a wise option at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saz71 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hi maz, can't help with your question sorry but was interested to read your OH is a chef. We're heading for Victoria and my OH is also a chef. We won't be looking to move over for a year or so but I wondered how your OH got on with applying for jobs from the uk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 PS anyone been to the Lindenderry Hotel in Red Hill -OH thinking of taking a job there? thanks Not been there, but my daughter's friend worked there for a long time years so must be ok.

Guest NatalieH Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 My husband does a daily commute to south kilda, it works out to be 1hr 45 min with public transport.. We feel the commute is worth value for money for property and lifestyle. I've not lived anywhere else in melbourne but lots of people I've met, who have lived elsewhere, feel mornington is a wonderful place to live.

Guest jemmajol Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I dont know of anyone who commutes but my brother often travels to us from Camberwell(just outside the cbd) Frankston is the nearest train station (approx 20 min drive away from Mornington)- or longer on public bus, then maybe 50 mins an hour to the cbd. the transport system is really good and mostly reliable and then trams (inc a free tram) operate in zone 1 in and around the city, good luck with your move- look us up when your in sunny Mornington :-D Jemma 34 danny 33, ds, 13, ds10, ds 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertzshot Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi Shane Husband commutes to CBD, Monday to Friday, he drives, he does prefer driving to taking the train, but that is also an option, train ends at Frankston, so you would then need to make your way back to Mornington, however there are frequent buses from the station. Also if you get to Franston train station early enough you can park for free. He doesnt mind the commute 1 hr - 1 hr 15min as the peninsula is a beautiful place to live. Heather Hi I'm wondering if any of you or your other half's commute into the CBD from mornington? Seems like a long journey but maybe it's worth it?Cheers Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 My friend drives to Port Melbourne every day and she staggers her hours so she starts early and leaves early misses some of the crush. I used to drive Beach Road to the City as I found even though its only 60 along there there are not so many lights as the Nepean Highway and therefore seemed a better run, brings you up into south Melbourne and you can either cross Kingsway and go in that way or turn off at St Kilda and go down Punt Road.
