Did my first ever trip (as captain in a 4-wheeled vessel) with my wife tonight. 60km round trip to Burwood and back.
Uneventful, except the construction muppets on the city-bound Eastern Freeway decided, in a space of 2km, to put up an 80, then 40, then 100, then 80, then 40 sign again before actually encountering any road work. Other road muppets simply ignore it and blazed past at 80 in the adjacent lane.
I remember being on the CityLink from the east once approaching the burnely tunnel and they closed every single lane into the leftmost one, opened it up, then closed every single lane into the rightmost one. So it went 80, 60, right lane closed, 40, middle lane closed, 100, 80, 60, left lane closed, 40, middle lane closed, then back to 100. Each section only lasted for one of the overhead speed limit gantry things, no wind, no roadworks, no roadworkers, no machinery
