The Marlborough Highway is a minor highway in Tasmania. It links the Lyell Highway to the Lake Highway and cuts short the otherwise very long journey from the West Coast to the Central Highlands.[1]
The road leaves the Lyell Highway near Bronte Park and travels overland to Miena, on the Great Lake. There are no settlements along its route.
Marlborough was an historical name for the area at the southern end of the highway, also known as Bronte, south of Bronte Park.[2]
The road is unsealed,[3] and in times of heavy snow it cannot be passed.
