Where Does Adjungbilly Creek Flow?
The Adjungbilly Creek starts its journey in the Adjungbilly Swamp. This swamp is located near a place called Tumorrama. It's on the western side of the Australian Alps.
The Creek's Path
From its source, the creek generally flows towards the northwest. It takes a very winding path, like a snake. This winding path is called a meander.
Joining Other Rivers
The Adjungbilly Creek eventually meets the Tumut River. This meeting point is called a confluence. It happens near a town called Darbalara. This spot is about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) before the Tumut River joins the even bigger Murrumbidgee River.
How Far and How Much It Drops
The creek flows for about 46 kilometers (29 miles). During its journey, the water drops a total of 664 meters (2,178 feet). This shows how much the land slopes from where it starts to where it ends.
