Hume Highway
The Hume Highway/Hume Freeway is one of Australia's major inter-city highways, running for 874 km between Sydney and Melbourne. It is part of the Auslink National Network and is a vital link for road freight to transport goods to and from the two cities as well as serving Albury-Wodonga and Canberra.
The main alternative route between Sydney and Melbourne is the Princes Highway which follows the coast for most of its length. Other inland alternate routes include the Olympic Highway route between Albury and Sydney via Cowra and Bathurst, and also the Federal / Monaro Highway route via Canberra which links with the Hume Highway near Goulburn and the Princes Highway in East Gippsland.
