Course and features

[edit]

The Burra Creek (technically a river[2]) rises below The Sisters, on the northern slopes of Ginendoe Hill, part of the Great Dividing Range, and flows generally east, then south, then east, joined by two minor tributaries before reaching its confluence with the Muttama Creek northwest of Coolac. The Muttama Creek is a tributary of the Murrumbidgee River. The Burra Creek descends 318 metres (1,043 ft) over its 29-kilometre (18 mi) course.[1]
