		The Hume Highway is the main road between Sydney and Melbourne, a seemingly benign, heavily used stretch of tarmac allowing the usual array of cars, trucks and motorbikes passage.
		There is a question of whether the reason she is prepared to put herself at such great risk is as a form of punishment for allowing her daughter to leave, or perhaps she truly believes that she is capable of bringing a murderer to justice.
		Bearing more than a passing resemblance to the desolate and dangerous road in the movie Mad Max (Road Warrior), the Hume Highway is transformed into a hunter’s playground with a procession of ruthless psychopaths patrolling its length looking for easy prey in the form of unwary hitch-hikers.

	Ozroads: NSW Metroad 7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Metroad 7 was introduced in mid-1993 and stretched from the Pacific Highway at Wahroonga to the Princes Highway at Heathcote, via Cumberland Highway, Hume Highway and Heathcote Road, and providing a bypass of eastern Sydney for traffic passing between the Pacific Highway and the Hume and Princes Highways.
		The link between the Pacific and Princes Highways, forming an alternative route to Metroads 1 and 3, was reinforced by the introduction of the remote focal points of "North Coast" for northbound traffic and "South Coast" for southbound traffic.
		The Pacific to Hume Highway link role of Metroad 7 was further reinforced in 1999, when the last of the Metroads - Metroad 6 - was introduced.

	Dominic Pettman-The Thonglines-lost highway, Australia's Hume highway
		Perhaps they snapped somewhere along the way and continued under the delusion that Parliament House was the Death Star, and they had to complete their mission.
		The scenery is less-than-spectacular on this highway, so I started to entertain myself by imagining that Albury - my first scheduled pitstop - as a lost paradise designed by Maxfield Parish (who, incidentally, had paintings commissioned by Mazda).
		The Hume now bypasses most of those small towns which Norman Rockwell would have lived in if he was Australian.

	Lake Hume
		Like it's downstream cousin Lake Mulwala, Hume has areas that are governed by Victoria and New South Wales, so currently anglers need to be equipped with a licence for each state in order to fish anywhere in the lake.
		The upside though is that both states have been quite active with their stocking programs, and the lake is returning some huge yellowbelly, some of which have set ANSA records with a few medium sized Murray Cod also showing up.
		Lake Hume is primarily an irrigation storage, and as such often suffers from low and declining water levels over the summer and autumn months when irrigation demands are high.
