I do a fair amount of back country driving where boredom certainly isn't the issue and even there 2h is a good stint. It's amazing how much difference 10-15 minutes out of the car makes.

Yep tend to agree these days
back in the days of yore (70's) i used to do 8 hour streches with ease
Adel- Roxby Downs & Adel -Melb straight through
nowdays only do Melb to Pomonal max in 1 stint 2.5 - 3.0 hr. or the odd Pomonal - Adel (6Hr tough) for reasons stated above.
I find the adherence to speed limits
(not wanting fines) creates extreme boredom and fatigue. and therefore IMO contributes to a driving hazzard and eventually the road toll
