Gregory's? They tried to launch that crap format in the Melbourne market back in the 1980s and it failed. Conversely Melway did a Sydway and it was so successful that Gregory's changed their format to the Melway/Sydway format.
Back on topic. Our roads are not designed for 296km/hr. But 130km/hr for main roads should be no concern. Examples: Hume Highway between Melbourne and Sydney, Geelong Road between Melbourne and Geelong just to name two.

Yes it would be great to have autobahn type highways in Australia. Be prepared though for the associated damage from the crashes. Let's not fool ourselves. The higher speeds will result in higher death and injury when the accidents do occur. It only needs a bird for example to strike the windscreen of that Porche to cause a monumental pile up.
