Easy to tell when driving it who the tourist are.

Sure some people drive slow because of roos, those people continue driving slow when the overtaking lane appears. I have no issues with these people. But some others doing 30 below see an overtaking lane and speed up to 115+ Do these people think Kangaroos do not hang out in two lane sections?

Just west of Merriwa has been real bad for these people lately. The further east you go, the higher people's average speed seems to be.

Like you I have no issue if people want to drive under the speed limit. I adjust my speed accordingly and keep a safe distance but when the overtaking lane comes up and they speed up to the limit or even slightly over, I get annoyed. It's like they don't want to be overtaken but then slow down again when it becomes a single lane. I've noticed it so much it's not isolated to a few drivers

I encountered this a few times on the Pacific Hwy in the motorhome sitting on 100 rounding up caravanners between Urunga and Clybucca doing 80km/h, until they see an overtaking lane, speed up and don't want me to pass. WTF I thought the first time it happened.
Problems probably solved now with all the roadwork up that way.
