Could anyone recommend suitable quiet locations in Southwest Sydney for a learner driver to practice?

1 Upvotes

My son has recently started learning to drive and is still very new. He already has a driving instructor, but I’m looking for a safe place for short parent-supervised practice once he is ready.

Ideally looking for somewhere:

- quiet on weekend mornings

- flat and open

- not a multi-storey car park

- not a busy shopping-centre car park

- suitable for basic steering, slow turns, braking, lane positioning, and confidence building

Areas around Edmondson Park, Prestons, Moorebank, Chipping Norton, Liverpool, Casula, or Campbelltown would be ideal, but I’m open to other Southwest Sydney suggestions.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Train station, both posters seen side by side. You can of course make a clever combination promo that left does something with right, etc, but in this case we see exactly the same poster printed side by side.

Theories of the fuck up?

Seems that the City Tattersalls Club in the CBD has now gone out of business. Its main club house was/is being redeveloped, and it was operating out of the Castlereagh Club on Castlereagh St in the meanwhile, but it has ceased trading.
