The Bland Creek , a mostly–perennial river [5] that is part of the Lachlan sub-catchment of the Murrumbidgee catchment within the Murray–Darling basin , is located in the South West Slopes , and Riverina regions of New South Wales , Australia . The Bland Creek is only connected to the Murray Darling basin when both the Lachlan and Murrumbidgee Rivers are in flood.
Course and features [ edit ]
The Bland Creek (technically a river[5] ) rises below Twins Range, a northern spur of the Great Dividing Range , and flows generally north northwest, joined by seven minor tributaries, before reaching its mouth and spilling into Lake Cowal , the largest natural inland lake in New South Wales.[4] The creek descends 185 metres (607 ft ) over its 173-kilometre (107 mi ) course .[2]
Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) woodland occurs along the edges of the Bland Creek.[4] In 2012 it was reported that the Bland Creek mallee fowl was on the brink of extinction.[6]
The creek is crossed by the Newell Highway south of the river mouth and east of Wyalong .
