The Jenolan River is a river in the east of the Australian state of New South Wales .
course
It rises northwest of Jenolan Caves , below the ridge of the Great Dividing Range . The river first flows southeast to Jenolan Caves and then turns its course to the east. Below the Krungle Bungle Range it takes up the Mumbedah River , turns to the northeast and flows a little later into the Coxs River .
With the exception of the small town of Jenolan Caves, where a road also crosses the river, it runs through unpopulated area, largely in Kanangra Boyd National Park . Since the Jenolan Caves were electrically lit from 1887, the river was used to generate energy. For this purpose, a weir was built a little below the caves.
