Beardy River,[3] a perennial river that is part of the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.
Course
[edit | edit source]The river rises 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) north–north–west of Deepwater and flows south–west, west–north–west and then north–north-west, before its confluence with the Dumaresq River, about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south–east of Bonshaw.[1] The river generally runs south of Torrington State Recreation Area, descending 675 metres (2,215 ft) over its 90 kilometres (56 mi) course.[2]
