There are many other streets that are almost identical to Wyena Street that you can drive up to get to places. Since Wyena Street is less popular, it is quieter and cleaner. In summary, the reason why Wyena Street is more liveable than Hawthorne Road is because it is located in a residential area, where there are less cars driving by, and where is quieter and
