Personal experiences?
- The majority of Victoria's population is centered in the bayside city of Melbourne, with main arterial roads leading out in four directions. These go to south-eastern NSW via the coast (Princes Hwy), Sydney via Benalla (Hume Hwy), Adelaide via Geelong (Hamilton Hwy) and Mildura via Bendigo (Calder Hwy). --Haiqu 21:52, 25 May 2011 (BST)
