Hi Peppa. I don't know myself but I think there are Britvics in and around all those areas. You might get replies faster by posting in the General Discussion part of the forum. |

Berwick you would use the Monash Freeway (Car Park in rush hour). My brother lives at Beaconsfield which is in the hills back of Berwick and it takes him a long while to get to work. If there is an accident it can be 2 hours. He drives to Warrigal Road and rides his bike into South Melbourne along the bike path. He has also changed his work hours so he does not have to travel at peak hours any more as it was driving him mad. There is a train and I guess it would be about hour and 10 depending if they are running on time. Mornington Peninsula is a large area and if you were at the Southern Tip it would be two hours to drive . Mornington about an hour and 10 depends on the traffic which is very heavy in peak hours. Mount Martha borders on Mornington so the same. You could park at Frankston and take the train into the city but you need to get their early to get a car park. Its an hour by train from Frankston. I gave up working in the city when we moved to the Peninsula and worked locally which is much easier on the pocket and time. There is a lot of commercial development in the Dandenong Area Moorabbin Area and lots of people work in these areas. Cars are relied on heavily here and now petrol is expensive transport is a big issue at the moment. Where I live on the Peninsula which is about the same as Mornington but on the Western Port side we have the train and good bus service. Hope it helps ask if you need more information. You can also check the http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/ government site which tells you all about Public Transport in Melbourne, timetables, cost etc. |
