The Bass Highway is an 87 kilometre 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.
