    Thanks forfyour reply. Can I ask how the commute is during peak hour? Some people have said 2+ hours, but Google maps says 1.15 hours. Can you please clarify. Thanks

    It can get bad, I'm not going to lie, if there's one accident it's standstill BUT in saying that I worked in Brisbane City for 9 months & lived on the Gold Coast and in that time there's was only a few really slow traffic days (maybe I got lucky?) average commute time was 1.5 hours from door to door.

    When I put on my Maroon shirt, I become a little (more) assertive, much to the annoyance of my NSW family and friends :D.

    If I went parading it around the streets of Tweed Heads, I am sure I would get the **** kicked out of me :eek:.
