Which school do your children go to? We are going to Acacia College in Mernda - it takes around 8 minutes to get there. I'm sure as developments continue along Epping Road that time will grow...but by then the school will have a bus running through this area. Currently most of their students seem to come from the Doreen, Whittlesea, Eltham, Greensborough, Diamond Creek, Hurstbridge side of the world so that's where the bus lines come from currently.
I just wanted to tell everyone - if you're currently with Arise and you have a 40GB plan, you now have 100GB per month for no extra charge, as of right now....happy downloading.
I was just talking about Acacia College the other day is it just a primary school or high school too? i heard its great and the travel time sounds great 8 mins i wish! i surpose most people are traveling the other way at that time in the morning and the promise of a bus coming soon for the school is also a great thing to look forward too.
It takes me anywhere from 25min-35min to get the kids to school, one is on high street at peter lalor doing his VET classes and the other at Thomastown primary not far off high st, most of that time is spent just getting through the estate to high st/copper street once im on high st at the plaza is pretty good. Its frustrating driving past all the extra land on the side of the roads thinking why dont they put another turning lane here and there. I used to go down miller street all the time when it was a dead end to the hair supply place down there 'risone's' (if your interested you dont have to be a hairdresser to buy from there, its all hair supply stuff) it was never busy but times have changed around these area's 20yrs ago most of it was all paddocks i have seen major changes in the last 25yrs that i have lived in lalor and thomastown. Its great though because we know that our houses will go way up in value.
i know things will get better here, we have built in an estate before but things seemed to be much more organised im glad the builders next door have finally got a porta loo so now they can stop using my fence as a toilet. I just wish they would put up some temporary fencing there is stuff everywhere even on my part of the front yard but if i complain to council or vicurban they will know it was me and i dont want to start trouble, they can just be so inconsiderate at times.
Thanks for listening to my whinge sesion lol , on a brighter note hubby rang iprimus today and we are finally getting connected next week for net and phone yeah we are in stage 14 so anyone waiting give them a ring the guy told us its been available to us for nearly a month...would have been nice if VU told us i would have saved another $120 on this wireless mobile garbage.
I thought they had to come out and do something to the fibre box in the garage but he said they just mailed out the modem and the rest was done at their end.(so no drilling out keyhole in cabinet yet)
