VS Exec SII 3.8 V6
sounds normal to me.. usualy they sit arount 1/4 when driving and can go anywhere to half way when idle or sitting at lights. (fan should kick in at around half way)

...forgot to mention...a mate who modifys Holden v8s for a living also suggests removing the seal from rear of bonnet opening (by the windscreen wipers)packing the bonnet hinges with washers 1/2 cm or so to get better thru ventilation and release heat from engine bay. haven't done it myself but sounds pretty smart.....
