Manilla River

The confluence of the Manilla River and the Namoi River at Manilla.

The Manilla River is a tributary of the Namoi River in northern New South Wales, Australia. Despite the name, it is officially classified as a stream by the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales.^[1]

The Manilla River drains a portion of the hill country on the western side of the New England highlands and the southern slopes of the Nandewar Range, including the Barraba district. It flows generally to the south and joins the Namoi River at the town of Manilla.

Split Rock Dam is located on the Manilla River about ten kilometres north of the town of Manilla. The dam is one of the main water storages for flood control and irrigation in the Namoi River Basin.
