Rivers Of New South Wales
This page discusses the rivers and hydrography of the State of New South Wales, Australia.
The principal topographic feature of New South Wales is the series of low highlands and plateaus called the Great Dividing Range, which extend from north to south roughly parallel to the coast of the Tasman Sea.
The two main categories of rivers in New South Wales, are those that rise in the Great Dividing Range and flow directly eastwards to the sea, and those that rise on the other side of the crest of the range and flow westward towards the desert. Most of the inland rivers eventually combine into the Murray-Darling network of rivers, which drains to the sea in South Australia.
