huh? that doesnt make sense to me. the ozone that protects u from the sun is 10's of km's up in the atmosphere.

on the other hand, ozone is a poisonus gas to breath

Oh well, thats the least of our worries.

We ride MURDERCYCLES.......

Oi ya pricks! Spuddy/Simone remind me to firebomb your house
But yeah, working *squints*, study and kids take up a lot of time. Don't get to ride as much as I use to but that comes with settling down? *shrug*

Ellenbrook is and isn't far away, depends on what you are there for. If you work in City it is far, if you want to go to the beach, its pretty far. But as some has said, it is close to midland (big whoop) and swan valley is nice, quiet area, quiet streets I don't mind it but its a hassle having to drive close to an hour to go fishing or go to the beach.

Doubt it. This is outside the EPA's mandate and area of expertise. It may have been more along the lines of:

Just like Atwell in the southern suburbs. Smack bang on top of the Jandakot water mound.

...and 60% of Perth's drinking water (until the desal plant came on line) came from the Jandakot and Gnangara mounds...

Now I know why we haven't been to your house. A midnight mackers run would require it's own seperate 100 strong email chain to organsise.

Meh - heard it in conversation from the A/CEO about 10 months ago. But I'm no scientist so may have it heard it wrong. Still I'd recommend sunscreen - isnt there a song about that?

speed3 · 22-07-2008, 10:25 PM

I drove out there everyday for a couple of months for work. It's a fucking long way away from everything and everywhere, don't do it.

THE GODFATHER · 23-07-2008, 09:14 AM

I just move to Ellenbrook.
Distant depends on where you work. 10 mins from Malaga, 15 from Joondalup.
So not really that far.
Besides, I like to ride. So no distance is to far.

And to quote others "Where is the pub"???

haha im not complaining... there are liquor stores and brewerys nearby!

and i dont actually drink...

I love living in Ellenbrook

Wanna drink? we got Mash and Feral Brewery's just around the corner. Or if you want to be all posh and flash and shit there is a bar at the vines...

Still would be nice to have a normal pub though....

Firestorm1000 · 23-07-2008, 01:28 PM

Waiting till we win lotto (not just 5th division) so we can but in a surburb that has pub, and more than 1 servo.

Gryphen · 23-07-2008, 04:16 PM

So by the looks of the map it's as far out of Perth as Joondallup is... just without the train, used to pass by there on the way to RAAF Pearce, the travel time is just what you're willing to put up with and can afford.

It's interesting how people buy out in the sticks to get a cheaper house. But they never figure in the extra fuel, car expenses and time wasted in traffic.

LOL, yeah ask all the brainiacs that built in Butler or Clarkson and work south of the River or in industrial areas like Welshpool or Maddington...
