8 mins to do about 10km. Not one set of traffic lights.
Buggerlugs, Lake Wendouree has about a foot of water, but it will probably dry up again over summer. Learmonth and Burrumbeet are both as dry as a dead dingo's donger. |

I used to work in cootamundra and live in wagga. So around an hour or so away. I might have to do the trip 2 times a day, some times travel too harden then Junee and back.
It was ok because it was all easy driving.

Only about 20 mins door to door, its a pain in the ar$e because the car doesn't even get a change to warm up properly... although being stuck in peak hour traffic isn't fun either way

At the moment I drive 650km to work. I stay and do a few days work and drive home. I travel early morning or late afternoon so the traffic isn't to bad.

With a previous job it use to be 1hr 30mins each way. That was from Seven Hills to the Airport in Sydney. No difference using public transport either.
But now I'm a 10-15min drive to work and for awhile I was riding a pushy. I still don't know how I did all that travelling especially when I look at the M4 in the mornings

60km each way. Campbelltown to North Sydney. Driving in peak - 1.5 hours to 2 hours. Today no one went to work and it took 50 mins. I;ve done the trip at 4am and it took just over 30 mins. The trip has me amongst traffic from the Southwest, South (Gen Homes Drive), the East(Eastern Dist) and going against traffic from the North and North West (harbour bridge)
I usually train it and that take 1 hour 35 mins door to door.

30min Limo drive to Brissy airport, 4 1/2hr flight to Darwin,Spend the night at Darwin Airport Resort, next day 30hrs on ship to location, stay for five weeks, return home the same way, have five weeks of to play with my toys
: then do it all again  : That was the last trip, the trip varies from the airport occasionally but you get the idea..... Last edited by XA351COUPE; 05-11-2008 at 02:22 PM. |

2 miles. I spend $10-15 on fuel per week now, and that includes a bit of extra driving for weekend and stuff. That's for a Silverado V8.
