The Castlereagh River is a river in the middle of the Australian state of New South Wales .
course
It rises in the middle of the Warrumbungle Range and initially flows east to the city of Coonabarabran . Then the river makes a loop that leads its course south, then west and finally north-west. It flows through the cities Binnaway , Mendooran , Gilgandra , Gulargambone and Coonamble , and then in the Macquarie River just before its mouth into the Barwon River , a source river of the Darling River lead to.
The Castlereagh River has a special position among the large rivers in the middle and west of New South Wales, as it does not originate in the Great Dividing Range . Therefore, the river carries very little water and its water level varies greatly over the year.
history
The Castlereagh River was explored by John Oxley in 1818.
