    Its about 10 metres from bed to my office, more if via the kitchen 😊. Not sure if being this close to work is a good or bad thing 🙃.

    Well, my desk is an hour and 10 minutes with a good run, up to 2 hours on a bad run, but that is really handy at keeping me away from it and on the road where I like to be. It's not uncommon to clock up 600 to 1000KM around the city each week - average speed is under 40KPH so that could be 20 to 25 hours a week behind the wheel and the rest chatting to customers about the Cricket...

    That's just when I'm around home - my entire area covers SA and Tas as well as all of Vic, so I get around a bit, as some other members here will attest to when I drop in for tea or the evening.

    I love that part of my job.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    About a half an hour if we have a really good run in, but have been sitting in the car for over two hours a couple of times going home. No accidents,, just lots and lots of slow moving traffic

    Now, this depends?
    If it's from Ravenshoe (considered home) & the weather is good it's about 10.5 hours with stops.
    If the weather is bad & you have to stay on the seal, it's about 13.5 hours or,
    If I'm resident at Doomadgee I walk out my back door across a few meters of decking & into the Roadhouse, like 20 seconds.

    Living right behind where you work isn't always a good idea, folks think your available 24/7! Then they think I'm a cranky bugger when I swear at them!

    Sat or Sunday morning: 20mins
    normal mornings(ie. peak-ish) 30mins
    Idiot mornings: >60mins

    ps. idiot mornings include, but not limited too, those mornings when two 'idiots' decide that Ring Roads are for drag racing, and Dukes of Hazard style flying over an embankment .... to their ultimate demise!

    Depending on route or method the time varies.

    If I ride the long way 1 hour 15 in 1hr 20 home. The short way is about 55 minutes solo or 1hr 20 with Pocket Rocket.

    If I catch the train about an hour each way including the drive to the station and walk to the office.

    If I drive it takes about 45 minutes in and about an hour going home.

    Depends on how heavy the traffic is, or if I blow a sock or the likes, anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds.

    It's good to work from home

    About one minute, which includes stopping at the downstairs door and pulling on my boots.

    Sounds like someone over did it this Christmas.

    30km takes me 30 mins with the speed limit being 70 or greater from front gate until the last 200m to the office. And we live in the 'rural area'.
