Belubula River, a perennial river that is part of the Lachlan catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the central west region of New South Wales, Australia.
Location and features
The river rises south of Vittoria, mid–way between Bathurst and Orange and generally flows south and west, joined by eight minor tributaries, flowing through Carcoar Lake where its flow is regulated, before reaching its mouth at the Lachlan River, east of Gooloogong; dropping 674 metres (2,211 ft) over its course of 165 kilometres (103 mi).[2]
The name is derived from the Australian Aboriginal meaning for stony river or big lagoon.[1] The original inhabitants of the land alongside the Belubula River are the Australian Aborigines of the Wiradjuri clan.[3]
Towns on the Belubula River, from its source towards its mouth, include Blayney, Carcoar, and Canowindra.
