The East Derwent Highway (route number B32) is a highway in Hobart, Australia. The highway is a trunk road that carries heavy commuter traffic much like the Brooker Highway, except on the Eastern side of the River Derwent. The highway starts at the Lindisfarne Interchange near the eastern side of the Tasman Bridge, and travels north connecting to the Bowen Bridge and eventually leading to the Midland Highway at Bridgewater in the north.

“Sublime tobacco! which from east to west
Cheers the tar’s labour or the Turkman’s rest.”

He took her in his arms and there and then
Like the clean beasts, embracing from behind,
Began in joy to found the breed of men.”

“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
