The Kindra Creek is a watercourse in New South Wales, Australia. It's like a small river that always has water flowing in it. This creek is part of a much bigger river system called the Murray–Darling basin. It flows through the Riverina and South West Slopes areas of New South Wales.
Where Kindra Creek Starts and Flows
The Kindra Creek begins in the Great Dividing Range, which is a large mountain range. It starts southwest of a town called Temora. The water that forms the creek comes from rain and runoff from these mountains.
The creek first flows towards the southwest. Then, it turns and flows towards the northwest. After traveling about 60 kilometers (37 miles), it joins another creek called Mimosa Creek. When they meet, they form a new creek called Redbank Creek. This meeting point is north of the town Ganmain.
Journey to the Murrumbidgee River
Redbank Creek, formed by the Kindra and Mimosa creeks, is a smaller stream that eventually connects to the Murrumbidgee River. The Murrumbidgee River is a major river in Australia. The Kindra Creek's water travels a long way, dropping about 128 meters (420 feet) in height from where it starts to where it joins Mimosa Creek. Some of its water also helps fill irrigation channels in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, which are used to water farms.
