polly Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 PS I love the Reject Shop! I can't wait to go driving through Sunbury now. That CTY shop's clothes also look really nice... Everything looks new and sparkly and well-taken care of.I think Mara said the train takes bout 30-40 minutes to get to the CBD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thank you Mara,Will definately make time to explore Sunbury once we're settled in Melbourne.On my LSD trip to Melbourne in September this year, I came home with over 800 photos! My friend said I look like a Chinese tourist and the paparazzi taking photos of everything I laid my eyes on! Beautiful city and I know my family will be happy in Melbourne.

bessie Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Thanks Mara Sunbury looks great, I simply can not wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Well I like it, close enough to the city for anything you wish to do there, yet country enough that you can live at peace with the world!Travel time to the city by train is approximately 35 mins. Travel time to the airport is around 20 mins. Travel time to the city by car in off peak, about 40 mins. Travel time by car to the city in peak, about an hour, as long as there is no hold up anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polly Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) So we drove to Sunbury over the weekend. What a beautiful town! Loved it a lot. It is just quite a distance from the CBD.These pics are of the Tullamarine highway on the way to Sunbury as well as some of the farmlands, etc. Reminded me a little of the 'kleinhoewes' around Centurion.DFO is similar to the UFO stores in RSASunbury itselfThe parkWe saw an amazing amount of vintage cars on the road.
