I live 10 miles south of Welshpool, about 100 metres from England.
Racing circuit track days are popular now. Speed cameras are everywhere!
I think I have some idea of the distances in Australia, probably not the remoteness. I've driven the whole way from Connecticut on the East Coast USA to Moab 2200 miles away in less than 5 days. 500+ miles per day, 8-12hrs of driving per day. That's been my longest single road trip with just sleep and fuel stops so far. I have driven lots of 500 to 700 mile single journeys mostly on improved roads but not that distance on just dirt tracks.
