The Bass Highway is a highway in Victoria, Australia and branches off the South Gippsland Highway at the township of Lang Lang. It runs south, along the eastern shore of Western Port to Anderson where a road turns west toward Phillip Island. The Bass Highway continues easterly to Kilcunda, Wonthaggi and Inverloch, then turns north-easterly to rejoin the South Gippsland Highway at Leongatha. Previously assigned State Route 181, it was later designated A420 until the Phillip Island turn-off, then designated B460 onwards: route B460 continues on as the Strzelecki Highway at Leongatha. It was named due to its proximity to Bass Strait.
