A former partner from Canada once said it was (when they lived in Canada), quite a regular thing to travel a couple of hundred kilometers to go to the beach for the day.
So we are not the only nation to think that sort of distance is 'just down the road'.
My wife and I went with a friend to Robe (South Australia) for the day (400km round trip) last week just to transport a yacht between abodes.
Very pleasant being able to look at the scenery for a change, although it was all eyes open watching for deer, kangaroo's, sheep and cattle on the road on the return leg of the journey.
