Namoi River

The Namoi River, spanning approximately 708 kilometers in north-western New South Wales, Australia, originates near Niangala and flows westward to its confluence with the Barwon River near Walgett. This river system encompasses a catchment area of about 42,000 square kilometers, bordered by the Great Dividing Range to the east and the Nandewar Ranges to the north. Major tributaries include the Peel, Manilla, and Mooki rivers, contributing to its rich aquatic ecosystem. The river's diverse habitats support a variety of native species, including the threatened Murray cod and silver perch. The Namoi River also holds cultural significance for the Kamilaroi (Gomeroi) people, the traditional custodians of the land.
