The Goodradigbee River is in south-eastern New South Wales, Australia. It flows into Burrinjuck Dam and thus is a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River.
The Goodradigbee River originates near Tantangara Reservoir at an altitude of 1,260 m and flows north into the Burrinjuck Reservoir. The majority of the catchment (95%) is forested with the upper catchment within the Kosciuszko National Park. The catchment is 110,100 ha in area. Some water from the upper reaches of the river is diverted into Tantangara Reservoir via an aqueduct, but otherwise the river is not dammed.[1] In 1968 the National Capital Development Commission considered building a dam at Brindabella Valley for the purpose of sending water into the Cotter River via a tunnel. [2]
The bridge over the Goodradigbee at Wee Jasper was completed in 1896. It is heritage listed as being an early example of an Allan type timber truss road bridge.[3]
