As mentioned the legal limit on freeways in NSW is 110 kmh but near Sydney you are lucky if you can do 1/3 of that... and they call it rush hour

In the Northern Territories say between Darwin and Alice spring, there is no speed limit on the normal roads. There isn’t enough traffic to justify freeways. I remember setting the cruise control at 170 kmh and not having to touch it for ages. The weird thing is the horizon does not seem to get closer any quicker; the countryside is so barren of features.
