about an hour's drive from Melbourne. Victoria is known as the "nanny" state because of all the revenue raising from speed cameras and the focus on speed as being the only real cause of accidents. In the area I was driving, I hear that police wear camouflaged gear and hide in the bushes and then radio to a colleague down the road to pull you over if you have been speeding. Total cat and mouse stuff which adds to the exhilaration.
But also speed limits in Victoria are ridiculous in places. You can have a 100km/h zone which would amount to suicide if you stuck to that limit and on the other hand a 60km/h zone with 5 lanes and straight as an arrow. So if you can find roads of the former description you can have a lot of fun without risk of getting caught speeding
