Sure did. Went to Melbourne yesterday and got caught up in the line up. Luckily we were staying at Kilmore caravan park so got off at the exit. Between Tallarook and the Kilmore exit added approx. 30 mins extra to trip so others going all the way through probably took longer. Come back home to NSW today and north bound was fine.

And what bugged me was we were in the left lane behind a line of trucks travelling at a slow pace and people in the right lane, obviously not bush bumpkins but cityites who probably thought they should have been home the hour before. They were driving far too quick and spraying wet bitumen everywhere.
Took me nearly 2 hours this morning to get it mainly off the right hand side that was closest to the damaged lane. No wonder accidents happen and probably just luck of the irish one didn't that we know of.
Better to be there in one piece than dead on time.
Off the soapbox now. Too damn hot to keep going.
