Our house is located a minutes walk from bus and train transport. It is an easy walk to half a dozen cafes and restaurants. We often walk to cinemas at Newtown and Leichhardt. The Sydney CBD is 20 minutes by train or bus and less than 10 minutes by car. I sometimes walk to the city and that can take about 30 minutes. I often surf at Bondi and can drive there in 20 minutes or at Manly beach which takes 30 minutes by car.
