Lachlan River Discoveries Have you ever wondered about where a river starts ? Rivers and creeks must start to flow from somewhere.

On one occasion before journeying through the Southern Tablelands of NSW on my way from Sydney to Canberra, I looked at a map of the area and realised that some watercourses may have their source in or around the region south of Goulburn due to the elevation of the Great Dividing Range. Looking more closely at the map I noticed that several rivers were fed with waters from this tableland environme

nt. The Wollondilly, Mulwaree and Lachlan Rivers rise in this region along with many other named and un-named watercourses. For some reason I became captivated with the thought of learning more about the Lachlan River in particular, as it travels in a different direction to the other two rivers. Readers may be interested to learn that the source waters of the Lachlan River commence from a series of wetlands in the Breadalbane Plains, with the river ending in a network of wetlands or swamps known as the Great Cumbung Swamp in South Western NSW. Subsequently, having recently visited numerous small towns and villages in the Upper Lachlan Region I "discovered" a wealth of history associated with the early establishment of these communities. I have prepared a series of episodes in the form of short movies and commentary highlighting some of the history that lies within this picturesque tableland region of the Lachlan River Valley. Starting tomorrow, this 12 episode series is entitled "Upper Lachlan River Discoveries".

Not really directly related to the Lachlan River, but there are numerous Court Houses in the Lachlan Region that feature in my Book "HISTORIC AND HERITAGE COURT HOUSES IN NEW SOUTH WALES". It has sold over 110 copies since August 2022. Here is a short video outlining the Book's Contents.
