Get ready for the return of toll booths

[FJRider]

My ancestors would tell your ancestors that a couple of blankets didnt quite cut it.............and now settlements are being made it should make your ancestors think......oops I guess we didnt get away with that one.

As I understood it, it was not about land "sold" that settlement issues were about, but lands CONFISCATED by the goverment of the time.

In Melbourne, motorbikes ride for free on all of the toll-ways.

Not in Brisbane though, so don't get your hopes up. Remember too that Melbourne (unlike NZ) is known to be very bike friendly.

Correct.

Like most of anywhere convenient to live, usually with good port access.
