Boorowa River, a perennial stream that is part of the Lachlan catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the central–western region of New South Wales, Australia.

Location and features

The river rises about 16 km north of Yass and flows generally north, joined by two minor tributaries, before reaching its confluence with the Lachlan River about 18 km south–east of Cowra; dropping 318 m over its course of 134 km. The river flows through the town of Boorowa, from where it draws its name, an Aboriginal Wiradjuri word for kangaroo.
