There are two highways in Australia known as the Bass Highway, one in Victoria and one in Tasmania. Each of them is named for Bass Strait, that separates the two states, which in turn is named for the explorer George Bass.

The BassHighway is a highway in Tasmania, Australia.
It is a part of the National Highway, and connects the major cities across the north of the state - Burnie, Devonport and Launceston.
At the same time as the southern outlet in Launceston was built in the 1980s (connecting to the Midlands Highway), the BassHighway was extended to connect directly onto the new segment of highway.
It is a part of the National Highway, designated as National Highway 1 and connects the major cities across the north of the state - Burnie, Devonport and Launceston.
The response from residents of the small towns effected has not been popular, but the 'old' highway, now known as the Meander Valley Highway, is promoted as a tourist route.
The response has been different to the Launceston-Deloraine route, as the highway is more of a commuter highway than a tourist highway, and as such the local economy does not rely on passing tourists.
