An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Borung Highway is a 138 kilometre rural highway in western Victoria running in a west–east direction from Dimboola in the west to Charlton in the east. The highway serves little more than connectivity between local communities, and is busiest between the towns of Donald and Charlton (with exception to the 15 km section that it shares with the Sunraysia Highway between Donald and Litchfield). The more notable features along the highway exist in the pastoral scenery, and the surprising appearance of lakes amongst the rolling hills. Buloke trees (from which the Shire of Buloke gets its name), are a regular feature along the eastern segment of the road.

  • The Borung Highway is a 138 kilometre rural highway in western Victoria running in a west–east direction from Dimboola in the west to Charlton in the east. The highway serves little more than connectivity between local communities, and is busiest between the towns of Donald and Charlton (with exception to the 15 km section that it shares with the Sunraysia Highway between Donald and Litchfield). The more notable features along the highway exist in the pastoral scenery, and the surprising appearance of lakes amongst the rolling hills. Buloke trees (from which the Shire of Buloke gets its name), are a regular feature along the eastern segment of the road. It is notable that very few of the highways in Victoria have Aboriginal names. In the nineteenth century amateur scientist and long serving member of the Victorian Legislative Council W. E. Stanbridge made the most detailed record of Australian Aboriginal astronomy surviving. Stanbridge befriended the Booroung people near Lake Tyrrell, and presented the results to Victoria's Scientific Community The possibilities are that the Borung Highway was named for this tribe, or as is written in the history of the town of Borung the town "takes its name from an Aboriginal word meaning the broad leafed mallee scrub" (en)

  • La Borung Highway ( entre Dimboola et Donald et entre Donald et Charlton) est une route longue de 140 kilomètres en milieu rural dans l'ouest du Victoria en Australie. De direction sensiblement est-ouest, elle relie Dimboola à l'ouest à Charlton à l'est. La route ne sert pratiquement qu'à relier les villages de la région entre eux et est plus chargée entre les villes de Donald et de Charlton (à l'exception du tronçon commun avec la Sunraysia Highway au nord-ouest de Donald). Les caractéristiques les plus remarquables de la route sont son caractère champêtre et l'apparition surprenante de lacs parmi les collines ondulantes. Les "Bulokes" (Allocasuarina luehmannii) qui ont donné leur nom au comté de Buloke sont des arbres que l'on voit régulièrement le long du tronçon est de la route. * Portail de la route * Portail du Victoria (fr)
