Newell Highway

The Newell Highway is a national highway in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. It provides the major road link between south-eastern Queensland and Victoria, via central NSW and, as such, carries a large amount of freight. At 1,058 kilometres (657 mi) in length, the Newell is the longest highway in NSW, and passes through fifteen local government areas.

The highway is named in honour of H. H. Newell, the first Commissioner for Main Roads in New South Wales (1932–1941). It is designated route A39 for its entire length.
