Midland Highway (Victoria)
The Midland Highway links major towns in Victoria, beginning from Geelong and leading all the way to Mansfield. It winds through country Victoria in a large arc, travelling via the towns of Ballarat, Bendigo and Shepparton. The total length of the highway is 452 km.
Route number: A300 from Geelong to Benalla; B300 from Benalla to Barjarg; C518 from Barjarg to Mansfield.
The Midland Link Highway links Barjarg and Maindample, bypassing Mansfield and reducing the journey from Benalla to Alexandra by 19 km.
A further, fragmented section of the highway that ran between the Princes Highway east of Morwell in the Latrobe Valley and Port Welshpool, on the South Gippsland Highway, was stripped of highway status in the 1980s.
