The Cadiangullong Creek is a river in New South Wales, Australia. It's mostly a perennial river, which means it usually has water flowing in it all year.
This creek is part of a much bigger river system. It belongs to the Lachlan sub-catchment. This larger system is part of the Murrumbidgee catchment, which then flows into the huge Murray–Darling basin. You can find the Cadiangullong Creek in the Central West region of New South Wales.
About Cadiangullong Creek
The Cadiangullong Creek is actually considered a river, even though it's called a "creek." It starts high up on the slopes of Mount Canobolas. Its source is just below a spot called Watts Pinnacle.
From there, the creek flows generally towards the south and west. It travels for about 27-kilometre (17 mi) (that's about 17 miles).
Where Does the Creek Flow?
The Cadiangullong Creek ends when it joins another river. This meeting point is called a confluence. The creek's journey finishes when it meets the Belubula River. This confluence happens north of a place called Millamong.
During its 27-kilometer journey, the creek drops quite a bit in height. It goes down 494 metres (1,621 ft) (about 1,621 feet) from its source to where it joins the Belubula River.
