Description: Wimmera Highway links the South Australian town of Naracoorte with the central Victorian city of Bendigo, passing through the Wimmera city of Horsham. The highway originally ended at St Arnaud, but when the new route system came in, it was extended. From Horsham to the South Australian border the road is C240. Although it continues to Naracoorte, it is not named Wimmera Highway in most maps for its last 22 km in South Australia, although there is an old SR130 sign in Naracoorte, which is odd considering that number referred to Victoria, and South Australia had no state highway route system back then.

Length: 245 km.

An old SR130 still sits along Smith Street in Naracoorte, South Australia. November 2004.
