    Regional Victoria

    I lived near Winchelsea for almost 20 years, and regularly drove through there to get to Geelong and Melbourne. While it is slower at the moment due to the roadworks the duplication is not going to increase the travel time by any significant amount. I think the duplication is great mainly for...
