General Information:

National Route 1 formed part of the main coastal route between Victoria and Queensland. The route features a mix of rural highway, arterial and freeway design standards. The route forms part of what is collectively known as Highway 1. It is Australia's coastal highway joining all mainland's state capitals and coastal towns circumnavigating the entire Australian continent. At the time it was also the longest numbered highway in the world, covering more than 14 500 km.

In New South Wales, National Route 1 was truncated by National Highway 1 between Beresfield and Wahroonga, by Metroad 1 between Wahroonga and Waterfall and later by M1 at Tweed Heads West, as a result the route was split into 2 sections.

When National Route 1 was initially established, the Pacific Highway section began at the Tweed Heads town centre at the NSW-QLD border. It meandered south, mostly following the coast to Newcastle, then passed through Gosford, Brooklyn, Hornsby, Wahroonga, Chatswood, Artarmon, and North Sydney, concluding at Milsons Point. Subsequently, NR1 transitioned into the Bradfield Hwy, traversed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, weaved through the Sydney CBD via several streets, and finally journeyed south through Wollongong, the NSW South Coast, and towards the Victorian border along the Princes Highway. Since the 1950s, the route has been continually modified and redirected in response to evolving road conditions and changing traffic demands. By the time National Route 1 was decommissioned, substantial segments of the route had been significantly diverted from their original alignments or had undergone major transformations, bearing minimal resemblance to their initial configurations.

South of Sydney's urban limits, National Route 1 recommenced again at its junction with the Princes Highway in the suburb of Waterfall. It then followed the Southern Freeway (previously known as the Southern Expressway) and Mount Ousley Road. The Southern Freeway was split into two sections, linked by Mount Ousley Road, and ranged from freeway to dual carriageway standards between Waterfall and Yallah in the southern suburbs of Illawarra. This route was the primary connector between Sydney and Wollongong, descending the Illawarra Escarpment to the slender coastal stretch where the majority of Illawarra's suburbs are located.

The Princes Highway was formed from a string of roads linking Sydney to the Illawarra, which later was renumbered as National Route 1. During the 1990s National Route 1 was renumbered to Metroad 1 to improve navigation through the Sydney metropolitan area.

At the time of decommissioning, the Princes Highway section of NR1 formed a coastal route from Yallah, in Wollongong's southern suburbs to the NSW-VIC border, before continuing to Melbourne and into South Australia. The route was a mix of urban arterial road, dual carriageway and also rural highway.

Princes Highway:

1860: A site for the bridge over Mullet Creek was selected by the architect, Mr Weaver.

August 1861: A bridge over Mullet Creek was opened, it was built of local timber and was twenty feet wide. It was hoped that this structure would be permanent but photos from later years show the ford still in use and another bridge was under construction in 1890.
