The Bowning Creek is a small river in New South Wales, Australia. It flows for about 15 kilometers (9 miles). This creek is special because it usually has water flowing in it all year round. It's an important part of the bigger Murrumbidgee River system, which then flows into the huge Murray–Darling basin. You can find Bowning Creek in the South West Slopes and Riverina areas of New South Wales.
