Does anybody know anything about this particular revenue rasier?

I just got back from a long trip with the wife and kids from Melbourne
up to the Gold Coast and I'm greeted by a notice informing me of a
$243 fine for doing 15kmh more than the limit. They don't tell me
what the limit was but I assume it was 60kmh, going by the Google
maps. The notice also says that it was the "B/W Richmond and Sussex
Streets". I don't know what the "B/W" means but I was just driving
through on the main highway and I did not cross that intersection
which is not on the highway according to Google Maps. Its probably
one of those areas where the speed limt rapidly drops from 100 to 80
then to 60 and you either slam on the brakes or go with the traffic.
I'm pretty sure I would go with the traffic which means that they got
lots of other poor bastards that day as well.

So I'd be grateful if anyone can give me any information about this
thing. Do you know anyone who has successfully challenged a speed
infringement notice taken from this camera? Can anyone send me a jpg
of the intersection so that I can make a basis for a defence?

I remember the general area and time as having heavy traffic with lots
of road work. I was fully loaded (headed north) with the wife and two
kids and camping gear for a 2 week holiday so I certainly wasn't
driving dangerously or hooning it, but I it was two weeks ago (23rd
September) so I there's no way I can remember exact speed anyway.

I would guess that the B/W stood for between Richmond and Sussex Streets

I even Googled it for you, BW means between Richnond and Sussex...they
both meet the highway.
Google street view shows TWO bloody big camera warning sign with a 50
speed sign....you probably should have taken a break and been more
alert.
Like I said..go online and look at the pic.

If you check out the Google maps "street view" of the area and take the photographic cruise from the
intersectiction of the highway and Sussex to the intersection of the highway and Richmond you will
not only find the speed camera but you will find some 50KPH speed signs, yes that's 50 on the main
highway.

I think you have been totally done over by the arbitrary speed limits in this state , but I don't
think you have a leg to stand on.

Sorry, and welcome to NSW, please come again.
