The Jerrara Creek, a watercourse[1] that is part of the Lachlan sub-catchment of the Murrumbidgee catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the South West Slopes region of New South Wales, Australia.
The Jerrara Creek (technically a river[1]) rises on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range north of Gunning near the locality of Wheeo, and flows generally west before reaching its confluence with the Lachlan River southeast of Rugby. The course of the creek is approximately 21 kilometres (13 mi).[1]
