Henty Highway
Henty Highway[2] is a 360 kilometre highway in western Victoria, Australia. It's primarily a north-south route, and consists of a mix of 2 laned country highway standard and 4 lane arterial road within some of the larger towns along the route. The highway formerly ran all the way to meet the Calder Highway at its junction south of Ouyen, but when the Sunraysia Highway was given highway status, the Henty name was truncated back to Lascelles.
