The Newell Highway is a major highway in New South Wales. It runs parallel to the eastern coast about 300 kilometers inland, and is the main inland direct road link from Victoria to Queensland, bypassing the more congested coastal areas of New South Wales. It runs through Boggabilla, Moree, Narrabri, Coonabarabran, Gilgandra, Dubbo, Parkes, Forbes and Narrandera. Unlike most highways in New South Wales, which are named after early explorers, the Newell Highway is named after the head of the Government Main Roads Department in the 1930s.
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 Sturt Highway is named after Charles Sturt, who explored south western New South Wales, the Murrumbidgee and Murray rivers and also parts of the deserts of central Australia in the 1820s and 1830s.
