        It’s not the same, you’re using metric hours. :)

          To be fair days are different: metric day is always 86400 seconds long while UTC day is 86399-86401 seconds long.

        Funny, we have similar distances in India it seems but with travel times on Google Maps mentioned in days instead of hours thanks to our excellent roads

          Everything’s bigger in Texas, except WA that shit is huge…!

          Initially I did Kununurra to Eucla which is approx 40hrs, but you can do it in 38 hrs if you go through the territory and SA. In the efforts of keeping things fair and saying in the same state such as the OP, Esperance seemed to prove the point. There’s defs longer commutes, but shy of triple seemed to be enough to prove a point.

          PS love the username

          You’ve lost me the USA is a country as well.?

          In Aus, we have a state called Western Australia (we’re really imaginative with naming,) and its friggin huge…! (Pictured)

          Approx 2.6 million km2 Or approx 1 million sq freedom units

            Nope, they meant that Texas is supposed to be a country.

        If you think that Australia is huge, you should play with navigation in Russia.

            Depends on what state you choose. There may be no road between destinations at all.
