Compared to our ripoff system, that's a bargain.

well, yeah, you can drive 2,500 miles here for free. Most tolls are
on
the North East coast.

Yep,
Here the Govt decided it was too expensive to build freeways so they
let construction companies build tollways between major cities on
the
East coast, under our harbour and into the western suburbs.
The Gov then drastically reduced maintenance on the old highways so
people who wanted to make good time were forced onto the tollroads.
Mind you, the savings in petrol and time make them worthwhile
You can drive the 800 miles or so from Sydney to Melbourne on good
tollway for $3.30 then get caught for another $4 to get from one
side
of Melb to the other.
Again, still worthwhile.
