7 hours is full on! I did this drive in early 2015 from Wellington to Auckland on my Pat Malone and it took about 8 1/2 hours (I do Melbourne to Canberra in about 6 1/2 hrs) and I can assure you I was not conservative with the accelerator...
Back in the 80s and 90s, my crazy cousin used to do Melb Syd in 6.5 hrs in his truck, 40t, $1.50-$1.60 all the way. Hair raising stuff and lawless in those days. Thankfully, the interstate trucking industry is alot more under control now.
