The Black Spur

Maroondah Highway just North of Healsville, about an hour out of Melbourne.

Mt Dandenong Tourist Road

Closer to Melbourne, but not as good as the Spur. Make sure you stop off at the Observatory for the best view of Melbourne.

Of course both of these places are popular with tourists so go during the less busy hours if you want some fun :wink:

Yes speed camera is deadly here, anything more then 3kmph over the speed limit and you will be done.

There are around 937 fixed speed/red light camera in Australia and around 254 of them are in Victoria.

And watch out for the cameras that measure your speed over a distance. Ie if you get from the first camera at 'point A' and get to the camera at 'point B' faster than it should have taken you, you also get booked! You'll start seeing them as soon as you cross the VIC border....

When are you playing in Syd next Andrew? Im still keen to come have a look! :)
