Andrew, how about we work through your options at Snake Valley. You can get everywhere you want to go without having to incur tolls. And I don't think it will add unreasonably to your travel times. In fact, knowing the (tolled) Monash Freeway's history - you may well get there sooner since it regularly gets all jammed up!
Even if you do end up on the Tollway, you get three days to make a simple phone call and pay the incurred toll over the phone.

In March I am planning a trip around your wonderful state, unfortunately, your freeway system and tolls are having me scratch my head... So here is my itinerary for the trip..
I'll be leaving Adelaide probably sometime on Wednesday making my way to about Ballarat/Snake Valley, pitching a tent and staying overnight, then on the Thursday early morning, I plan to drive from Ballarat to Hastings, on the Mornington Peninsula. As I understand it, this will require me to get a citilink toll or something? I am staying overnight in Hastings then onto Avalon on Friday. Then continue the rest of my trip... Since I am only going to need the toll for the trip in the morning of Thursday and morning Friday, would I be better off (as I am not 100% sure on timing) to get 2 x 24hr passes or risk the single 24hr pass? Or are there other options? I'd prefer no tolls, but that makes the trip longer I thing?
Anyway help from vics that use the roads would be great...
