My last commute for the year is this Friday (assuming I don't decide to come to work unnecessarily over the Christmas break, which is something I'm seriously considering!). To be honest my year's commuting hasn't been all that wonderful - very little rain, lots of bushfires, dust storms etc. Not to mention the fact that this summer is the worst I've ever seen!

Probably about the only nice thing I can say is that my commute this year (47km round trip) is longer than the one I had when I was at university. And I suppose I don't have to go through Surfers Paradise anymore, that's another plus. And I only had two flats for the entire year (on commutes anyway, I got three on my tour of Victoria), so maybe the commuting year wasn't quite so bad after all.
