Guys
just a quick one, Im coming to Melbourne on Saturday to look at some new cars, what's the estimated travel time from Thomastown to Cheltenham? Also want to go Wheelers Hill so it will probably be first to Cheltenham, then Wheelers Hill, then Thomastown on the way out. Cheers for any info!

Well as it turned out I ended up striking Hoddle Street, being 40mins late to test drive the new ute, and then ended up in Flinders Street on the way home cos I missed a turn. All in a day's work!
