Architecture out of the city
Does anyone have any experience or tales of practicing architecture outside the city?
I've lived and worked in Sydney all my life, and I am starting to get a bit sick of the Leviathan - the pollution, the transport (or lack of it), the hours, the prices of living. Yep, the whole mid-life crisis at 35 is coming on.
I've worked in all sorts of firms, gained a lot of expereince, but never tried to run my own - it looks too damn scary with the amount of PI / legalese one must know, though I do manage to keep my rego up to date.
I've recently been looking for jobs in the Western Sydney or Blue Mountains area - mainly for romantic reasons!
I'd happily move to the BM right now, but the commute is a killer to Darlinghurst! (And have you actually worked in Darlo? - It's a freakin' dump!).
Amazingly the pay here is rather good, which leaves me in a bit of a quandry....
I guess what I am asking is whether there are architectural practices that exist west of Parramatta or Penrith - or are all architects out west sole practitioners (who probably won't welcome competition)? And does anyone want an 11-years experience registered architect?

Would you consider moving even further west to Adelaide?
Howdy, Stranger!
