The Loddon Valley Highway runs roughly north-west from Bendigo to Kerang on the Murray Valley Highway. Previously assigned State Route 141, it was later designated as B260.
After passing through the hills around Bendigo and Eaglehawk, the highway joins the Loddon River at Serpentine, then follows along the east side of that river all the way to Kerang.
The Loddon Valley Highway constitutes part of the direct route from Melbourne to the popular Murray River holiday areas around Swan Hill.

““Over the mountains
Of the moon,
Down the valley of the shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,”
The shade replied,—
“If you seek for Eldorado!””

“Off Highway 106
At Cherrylog Road I entered
The ‘34 Ford without wheels,
Smothered in kudzu,
With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,”
