MID-WESTERN HIGHWAY

The Mid-Western Highway starts at Bathurst New South Wales, where it joins with the Great Western Highway over the Blue Mountains from Sydney.
It proceeds via Blayney, Carcoar and Cowra. It then heads west through Grenfell to West Wyalong where it crosses the Newell Highway. It continues west to Rankins Springs and then to Hay where it joins the Sturt Highway.
The Mid-Western Highway is the most direct route between Sydney and Adelaide, however since the Hume Highway has been improved, the route via the Hume Highway and Sturt Highway through Wagga Wagga is probably superior and quicker despite being around 20km longer. The latter is also part of the Auslink National network as the defined route from Sydney to Adelaide.
