Off like a herd of turtles...

Traffic here is AWFUL!!!! Worse than DC and as nonsensical... It's 10AM on a Friday and we've been stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on every road on our way out of town.

In other news, tired drivers or accidents from truckies falling asleep at the wheel must be a real problem here. The state of Victoria spent 16M$AUD on a campaign to decrease this -- which includes some awesome road signs to encourage drivers to take breaks and not die.

Some of our favorites:
- Weary? Powernap now!
- A microsleep can KILL in seconds! (our guess is that a micronap is a snooze?..)
- OPEN YOUR EYES!!! STAY ALIVE!!!
- break the drive - stay alive


Also, there are a lot of speed cameras but there are heaps of signs warning you when one is coming up...so you have plenty of time to slow down before you get caught on film...
