Kanangra Creek

The Kanangra Creek, a perennial stream of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment, is located in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia.

Course
The Kanangra Creek (officially designated as a river ) rises near Mount Wallarra, below the Boyd Plateau on the western slopes of Mount Thurat, and flows generally south-east and north-east through Kanangra Gorge, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Coxs River at Konangaroo Clearing. The river descends 950 m over its 20 km course. The river is entirely contained within the world heritage-listed Kanangra-Boyd National Park.

The Kanangra Falls, a waterfall located on the river, descends 225 m in two drops.

Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness
The Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness is among the largest and most rugged wilderness areas in New South Wales. Situated to the south of in the Blue Mountains and the Kanangra-Boyd National Parks, this folded belt or "Rim Rock" area is markedly different from the Permo-Triassic sandstone dominated landforms which comprise the rest of the Blue Mountains. The Kanangra Gorge, along the river floor, is cut 600 - 900 m deep in rocks of the Lambie Group, and is one of Australia's deepest gorges.
