The Borung Highway (C234 - Dimboola to Donald section and C239 - Donald to Charlton section) is a 140 kilometre rural highway in western Victoria running in a west-east direction from Dimboola in the west to Charlton in the east. The highway serves little more than connectivity between local communities, and is busiest between the towns of Donald and Charlton (with exception to the section that it shares with the Sunraysia Highway.

The more notable features along the highway exist in the pastoral scenery, and the surprising appearance of lakes amongst the rolling hills. Buloke trees (from which the Shire of Buloke gets its name), are a regular feature along the eastern segment of the road.

Note: The Borung Road, running from Charlton to Borung, is often referred to as the Borung Highway, particularly by locals of Charlton. Although it appears the Borung Highway was intended to at least end in Borung, the highway remains a shared single lane roadway without future plans for enhancement.
