The Golden Highway is a highway in New South Wales, Australia.

Designated as State Highway 84, it runs eastwards from Dubbo towards Newcastle on the coast and enables road transport to avoid travelling over the Blue Mountains to Sydney.

The Golden Highway runs through Dunedoo, Merriwa, Sandy Hollow, Denman, Jerrys Plains and Mount Thorley, joining the New England Highway at Belford, south of Singleton.

The Bylong Valley Way turns off the Golden Highway 1km east of Sandy Hollow.

The Golden Highway uses around 2km of The Putty Road east of the Mount Thorley industrial estate near Singleton, then turns east onto Mitchell's Line of Road while the Putty Road continues to Singleton.

The Golden Highway - Easy Driving for Caravans - East to West; West to East. The Golden Highway provides a fairly low crossing of the Great Dividing Range.[1] Also taking you through the Hunter Region (the glorious Upper Hunter Country)[2] and to the golden west New South Wales.[3]
