From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doncaster–Eltham Road is a major arterial road in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. This name is not widely known to most drivers, as the entire allocation is still best known as by the names of its constituent parts: Fitzsimons Lane and Williamsons Road.[2] This article will deal with the entire length of the corridor for sake of completion, as well to avoid confusion between declarations.
