The driveway continues around behind the house for about the same distance again, roughly 200m long in total. Will be interesting to see how it fares over time.

Good stuff! If you want the gravel drive look, another close answer is what we call DG, or decomposed granite here in the States. Drains well and eventually packs down well. No dust with it usually either. I have done and seen big Bev Hills mansions that like the stuff for the old nostalgic look.
