[30], Motor races have been proposed or undertaken on the highway since the 1950s.[31][32][33]. The principal road from Port Augusta to Darwin was also established on a similar route. The Sturt Highway travels across three States and requires a certain amount of co-ordination to finish mapping the road, the towns on it, the features along the way and anything else we see on our travels.

In 1955, the Australian Government gazetted the highway as a national route and upgraded as a national highway in 1992, forming the Sydney-Adelaide Link. When the Northern Expressway and Northern Connector were assigned as route M2, route A20 reverted to following Main North Road south to Gepps Cross.

[4][5] In South Australia, the Sturt Highway passes Renmark, Monash, Barmera, Waikerie, Blanchetown, Nuriootpa and Gawler where it reaches its western terminus, although Gawler is bypassed.

The highway continues 508 km (316 mi) south into Alice Springs passing the Plenty Highway.

At the end there is no party, no food and no drinks.

The Northern Territory section of the Stuart Highway starts from the edge of the Darwin central business district at Daly Street and continues as a dual-carriageway to the Arnhem Highway in Howard Springs. [2][3], The highway runs generally east-west, roughly aligned to the Murrumbidgee River in New South Wales, then, following that river's confluence with the Murray River, aligned to the Murray in north-western Victoria and eastern South Australia, generally towards the northern outskirts of Adelaide.

[27][28] In September 2015, following the conclusion of the trial, a 276 km (171 mi) stretch of the highway had its speed limits permanently derestricted. The Royal Flying Doctor Service uses the highway as an emergency landing strip and sections of the highway are signed to that effect.

Work on the Blue Ridge Parkway began in North Carolina in 1935 and in Virginia in 1936. The highway continues south-east towards Adelaide. The Kidman Way is a state rural road in the western Riverina and western region of New South Wales, Australia.

The bridge at Blanchetown was originally opened in 1964. The idea started on the mailing list about November 09 with some work in the South Australian Riverland split between travellers. [12][13] This first changed to a route passing to the north of Nuriootpa around to the north and west of Gawler on the Gawler Bypass Road and Main North Road to Gepps Cross.

[9] Now completed this has essentially made the Sturt Highway dual-carriageway/freeway standard between Adelaide and the Barossa Valley. [1] The highway approximates the route Stuart took.
