The Adjungbilly Creek, a mostly–perennial river^[2] that is part of the Murrumbidgee catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the South Western Slopes and Riverina regions of New South Wales, Australia.

Course and features

The Adjungbilly Creek (technically a river^[2]) rises in the Adjungbilly Swamp, near Tumorrama, on the western slopes of the Australian Alps, and flows generally northwest in a highly meandering course before reaching its confluence with the Tumut River, near Darbalara, approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) above its junction with the Murrumbidgee River. The creek descends 664 metres (2,178 ft) over its 46-kilometre (29 mi) course.^[1]
