Midland Highway is a major rural highway linking major towns in Victoria, beginning from Geelong and winding through country Victoria in a large arc through the cities of Ballarat, Bendigo and Shepparton, eventually reaching Mansfield^[5] at the foothills of the Victorian Alps.

Midland Link Highway links Barjarg (on Midland Highway) and Maindample (on Maroondah Highway),^[6] bypassing Mansfield and reducing the journey from Benalla to Alexandra by 19 kilometres (12 mi).
