Maroondah Highway (also known as Whitehorse Road from Deepdene to Surrey Hills[5]) is a major east–west thoroughfare in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and a highway connecting the north-eastern fringes of Melbourne to Mansfield,[6] at the lower alpine region of Victoria, Australia.

Maroondah Link Highway links Cathkin (on Goulburn Valley Highway) and Yarck[7] (on Maroondah Highway), allowing an easier link to Melba Highway via Yea for Melbourne traffic.
