Pretty poop 100km/h zone for a large portion of the journey though I thought.

It once took me 12 hours from Melbourne to Adelaide, but I was driving a Mini Moke at the time...
I'd drive next time I go there as I'll want to visit old friends in the Dandenong Ranges, and the petrol becomes insignificant compared to car hire charges.

That was only because it was the only car the Avis dealer in Kensington had left on a Thursday and hard to rent because it was a manual.
So, after I'd said "No thanks!" at the normal price they gave it to me for the price of a VW Polo.
