Dingo Creek
Dingo Creek, a perennial stream of the Manning River catchment, is located in the Mid North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.
Course and features
The Dingo Creek rises below the Comboyne Plateau, about 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) southwest of Mount Gibraltar within the Killabakh Nature Reserve, north of the town of Wingham. The river flows generally west to a point east of Tapin Tops National Park, then south, joined by the Bobin and Caparra creeks, before reaching its confluence with the Manning River, at Kilawarra, west of Wingham. The river descends 679 metres (2,228 ft) over its 78 kilometres (48 mi) course.[3]
The Manning River eventually flows into the Tasman Sea through a minor delta east of Taree.[1]
Etymology
The traditional custodians of the land surrounding the Dingo Creek are the Australian Aboriginal Birpai people[4] of the Bundjalung nation. The name of the creek is derived from the Aboriginal Kattang word tapin, meaning dingo,[2] a subspecies of the grey wolf.
