Course and features

The Delegate River rises below Cob Hill within Errinundra National Park on the northwestern slopes of Gunmark Range, part of the Errinundra Plateau, approximately 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) east-northeast of Goongerah, in East Gippsland, Victoria. The river flows generally north, east-southeast, northeast, north, and then northwest, flowing across part of the boundary between New South Wales and Victoria, joined by sixteen tributaries including the Little Plains River and the Bombala River, before reaching its confluence with the Snowy River, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north northeast of Tombong, north of the town of Delegate[1] and west northwest of the town of Bombala. The river descends 643 metres (2,110 ft) over its 127-kilometre (79 mi) course.[4]
