Fuck yeah [[http://goo.gl/maps/pQQ74| public transport]]! What suburbs does this offer?

High priority locations are major hubs, where many trains stop or lines meet. That's any station on the [[http://www.131500.com.au/maps/upload/docs/sydney-intercity-trains-network.pdf| cityrail map]] with a "bar" across the lines.

In no particular order:
 * Hornsby
 * Epping
 * Chatswood
 * Eastwood
 * North Sydney
 * Parramatta
 * Westmead
 * Granville
 * Lidcombe
 * Strathfield
 * Burwood
 * Sydenham
 * Redfern
 * Central
 * Town Hall
 * Wynyard
 * Circular Quay
 * St James
 * Museum

Westmead seems like a decent price range, up to about $400k and sorta close enough to Parramatta. Not walkable distance though, you'll be needing to catch trains to/from Westmead station.

A little scratchpad.

If looking to rent with Adrian, criteria is:
 * About $600/week
 * Apartment preferred
 * If it's a house, almost definitely not with a pool
 * 2-3 bedrooms, in case his brother also moves in
 * 2 bathrooms
 * 2 car spaces
 * Close to public transport, major station preferred

It would be nice if it's open plan, so there's room for photo studio setup and the like.
