Location and features
Macquarie Rivulet rises within the Macquarie Pass National Park on the eastern slopes of the Illawarra escarpment and drains the eastern edge of the Southern Highlands plateau. The headwaters of the rivulet gather approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) northeast of the town of Robertson and north of the Macquarie Pass.
