Inland-flowing Rivers
The inland-flowing rivers in New South Wales (NSW) can be considered in two groups. In the northern half of the state, a series of rivers rise on the western side of the Great Dividing Range. These rivers flow west and northwest and eventually combine into the Barwon, which becomes the Darling River further west near Bourke. The waters of the Darling River then flow south through the arid far west of NSW to join the Murray River at Wentworth in the far south-west corner of the State.
The second group of inland-flowing rivers in NSW rise in the southern part of the State and combine directly with the Murray River, which forms the southern border of NSW with Victoria.
