Sturt Highway
The Sturt Highway is a Australian highway located in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia.
The Sturt Highway is the main highway route between Sydney and Adelaide. The Sturt Highway commences at its junction with the Hume Highway near Gundagai south west of Sydney. The Highway heads more or less due west, passing through the northwest of Victoria, and linking the towns of Wagga Wagga, Narrandera, Hay, Balranald, Mildura and Renmark to Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.
The Sturt Highway is named after Charles Sturt, who explored south western New South Wales, the Murray River and also parts of the deserts of central Australia in the 1820s and 1830s.
As well as linking with the Hume Highway, the Sturt Highway connects with the Newell Highway at Narrandera, and the Mid-Western Highway at Hay.
