Course and features

Officially designated as a river,[1] the Lee Creek rises on the northern slopes of the Great Dividing Range, below Thompsons Hole, northeast of Rylstone. The river flows generally north northwest then north reaching its confluence with the Bylong River near Bylong. The river descends 542 metres (1,778 ft) over its 37 kilometres (23 mi) course.[2]

gollark: BRB, engineering new forms of pathogen to infect your machine-based body.
