Woomargama Bypass Road
A special road called the Woomargama bypass opened in November 2011. A bypass is a road that goes around a town instead of through it. This helps traffic move more smoothly.
The Woomargama bypass is located to the west of the town. It connects to the main highways that go north and south. This means cars and trucks can avoid driving right through the village.
