- Mangrove Creek (New South Wales)
-
Mangrove Creek is a tributary of the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales, Australia.[1]
Mangrove Creek rises about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the south-west of Mount McQuiod. The headwaters of the creek are impounded by the Mangrove Creek Dam, which forms a major part of the water supply to the New South Wales Central Coast. Below the dam, the creek flows in a southerly direction through the settlements of Upper Mangrove, Mangrove Creek, Greengrove and Lower Mangrove, before joining the Hawkesbury between Spencer and Wendoree Park. The creek has an overall length of some 35 kilometres (22 mi).[1]
