What is the default speed limit in a built-up area in Western Australia when there are no speed limit signs?

What is the default speed limit outside built-up areas in Western Australia where there are no speed limit signs?
Outside built-up areas, with no signs, the limit is currently 110 km/h. 100 km/h is the cap for learners and for vehicles towing, not the default for everyone. (Drive Safe 3.1.1)
