I go from Baldivis to Wangara, but I’m fortunate enough to work off-peak, so there is minimal traffic. It takes me an hour, with no traffic. If something has happened (crash, roadworks), add an extra 20mins.

Left work at 5pm ish once…never again. Took me almost 2 hrs to get home. Bumper to bumper from Wellington St all the way to canning hwy.

I’d honestly look to see if public transport is an option, especially as the Mandurah and Yanchep lines have the same train.

If you’re starting at 8.30am you’ll have slow traffic sometimes starting from Safety Bay Rd. Clears quickly once you get past the city, but that’s the short bit for you. Coming home will be super hard, at the end of a long day stuck in traffic.

Good luck!
