Well, aren't you lucky!
That pretty much sums up my usual driving environment as well.

Is this just going to be an aquired skill that i need to practise? Frustrating to be consistently turning fuel into brake dust.. any tips / advice are appreciated.

The others are right: it just comes with time. You might even make mental notes of landmarks where you begin coasting before certain stops, and fine-tuning it each day.
After a while, when you get it dialled in, you'll become sensitive to external effects that change your coasting distance, eg: as colder weather approaches, your rolling resistance will start to go up. Or on wet roads or windy days you'll notice a difference as well.
