TheJugiong Creek, a mostly–perennial river[2] that is part of theMurrumbidgeecatchment within theMurray–Darling basin, is located in theSouth West Slopes region ofNew South Wales,Australia.
Formed by theconfluence of the Illalong and Bogolong Creeks, the Jugiong Creek (technically a river[2]) rises in the Burrinjuck State Forest near the locality of llalong Creek, on the south western slopes of theGreat Dividing Range. The creek flows generally north, west northwest and then southwest, joined by four minor tributaries, before reaching its confluence with the Murrumbidgee River east of the town ofJugiong. The creek descends 175 metres (574 ft) over its 58-kilometre (36 mi)course.[1]
