Route
The Sturt Highway commences at its junction with the Hume Highway near Gundagai south west of Sydney. The Highway heads more or less due west, passing through the northwest of Victoria before entering South Australia. It links the cities of Wagga Wagga and Mildura and the towns of Narrandera, Hay, Balranald, Renmark, Blanchetown, Berri, Nuriootpa and Gawler.
In Victoria and South Australia the highway carries the National Route number A20, while in New South Wales it is simple National Route 20. The route changes to the M20 at Gawler and continues from Gawler Bypass Road south towards the A1 along the Northern Expressway.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
