	'''Trans-Tasman Link''' is an international ~~[[Category:Iceways (Nostra)\|~~iceway]] linking [[Nostra:New Zealand\|New Zealand]] and [[Nostra:Australia\|Australia]] together. The iceway was finished on 27 June 2026, seventeen days after its announcement. Operations on the iceway prove somewhat peculiar because the iceway systems of Australia and New Zealand are not strictly compatible; the former operates like a métro system — focusing on minecarts — whereas the latter identifies more like a freeway system — focusing in boating, though allowing carting on hybrid iceways. Therefore, while there is continuous minecart support, the line is only boatable from the route origin at Whitewater West Junction, New Zealand, until the maintainer boundary at kilometre 8,151.

'''Trans-Tasman Link''' is an international [[Category:Iceways (Nostra)|iceway]] linking [[Nostra:New Zealand|New Zealand]] and [[Nostra:Australia|Australia]] together.
