Was going by googlemaps which said 22 mins. I agree that Western fwy/melton hwy would prob clog up eastbound in peak hour, but what about north on kings road? happy to take advise from someone who has lived in the area. Problem is we have two cats, and that limits options in sought after suburbs like Essendon- Niddrie looks good, but not much under $400/wk (3bedroom). what about taylors lakes?
