We have moved here from the inner north and after 3 month we are ready to tear up the lease and move out.

The only reasonable form of transport to the CBD or PTA is the ferry from Cabarita.

Access by road is also difficult. A trip to the beach is ~ 45 min one way with tolls hence most people chose the Cabarita pool as an alternative.

Parks are fairly dry and boring so not great for kids. The "Tom Murphy Reserve" is a humble patch of grass. There are also mosquitos that breed in the mangroves by the river and my ground floor is buzzing as the result.

If you are considering Mortlake I would suggest Ryde or Burwood instead. Ryde has better road access whilst Burwood is a hub with train access and Parramatta road.

The Putney Punt can take 15 min and does not work for most of the day during the week.

Finally this suburb is not cheaper than any other in "inner" Sydney. In fact there are overseas investors paying insane amounts for houses at Breakfast Point when they could probably live in Mosman for less.
