Phillip, it is standard practice in regional areas to talk in travel
time terms rather than distances.  "Two hours" means two hours driving
time, which in your terms means 150-200 km.  For reference purposes,
Albany is four and a half hours from Perth, Kalgoorlie and Kalbarri are
about 6 hours, Esperance is about 8 hours {assuming you don't stop to
look at the malleefowl at Ongerup} and Exmouth is about 13 hours from
Perth.
