The Goulburn Valley Highway Australian National Route A39.svg / Australian Alphanumeric State Route B340.svg[2] is a highway located in Victoria, Australia. The section north beyond the Hume Freeway is part of the Melbourne to Brisbane National Highway (together with Hume Freeway) and is the main link between these two cities as well as a major link between Victoria and inland New South Wales. The highway roughly follows the course of the Goulburn River, a tributary of the Murray River. The Highway serves the fruit and vegetable growing areas of the Goulburn Valley in Victoria, one of Australia's most productive agricultural regions. The highway runs from Eildon to Tocumwal and then crosses the Murray River to join the Newell Highway in New South Wales.
