Well I had all this when I lived in Aus - they'd laugh at my idea of far and I'd laugh at their idea of a large town or an old building. But what you have to bear in mind is the traffic density - Oxford is about 90 miles from me and I have done the journey in a barely legal hour and quarter and in an agonising 4and a half. It may be small but it is very dense.
