The Bulla Creek is a small river in New South Wales, Australia. It's mostly a perennial stream, which means it flows for most of the year. Bulla Creek is part of a much bigger water system. It connects to the Lachlan River, which then flows into the Murrumbidgee River. Both of these are part of the huge Murray–Darling basin. This connection only happens when there's a lot of rain and the rivers are flooding.

Where Does Bulla Creek Flow?

The Bulla Creek starts in the Great Dividing Range. This is a large mountain range in eastern Australia. The creek begins near a place called Monteagle. From there, it flows generally towards the north and west.

Bulla Creek's Journey

The creek travels for about 22 km (14 mi). Along its journey, it drops about 101 metres (331 ft) in height. This means the water flows downhill from its source.

Where Does Bulla Creek End?

The Bulla Creek doesn't flow into the ocean directly. Instead, it joins another creek called Burrangong Creek. This meeting point is located between the towns of Young and Grenfell. The Burrangong Creek then flows into Bland Creek, which eventually connects to the larger Lachlan River system.
