My tought was in general, not extremely related to Longford (even if the main speech was about it). Of course, as you said, in rural zones (even more back in the early 60s) the amount of cars had been extremely reduced, so the resurface would have been a once-in-a-while thing to doI understand. Not sure where you are from but we are talking about a small rural Tasmanian town on roads that wouldn't have had alot of traffic that required a resurface.
I know in NZ, which is basically the same, right upto the turn of the century, resurfacing a road like that just wasn't done as often. Even now a rural road like that, heck even the main highways, don't get that upkeep done on them, not here in Australia, and certainly not NZ.
Btw i'm from the north of Italy, not properly in a rural zone, but at the feet of the mountains, but yeah, roads are not up-to-date even in 2023 XD
