The Kanangra Creek, a perennial stream of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment, is located in the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia.

Course

The Kanangra Creek (officially designated as a river[1]) rises near Mount Wallarra, below the Boyd Plateau on the western slopes of Mount Thurat, and flows generally south-east and north-east through Kanangra Gorge, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Coxs River at Konangaroo Clearing. The river descends {{convert|950|m}} over its {{convert|20|km|adj=on}} course. The river is entirely contained within the world heritage-listed Kanangra-Boyd National Park.[1][3]

The Kanangra Falls, a waterfall located on the river,[4] descends {{convert|225|m}} in two drops.

Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness

{{Main|Kanangra-Boyd National Park}}

The Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness is among the largest and most rugged wilderness areas in New South Wales. Situated to the south of {{NSWcity|Katoomba}} in the Blue Mountains and the Kanangra-Boyd National Parks, this folded belt or "Rim Rock" area is markedly different from the Permo-Triassic sandstone dominated landforms which comprise the rest of the Blue Mountains. The Kanangra Gorge, along the river floor, is cut {{convert|600|-|900|m}} deep in rocks of the Lambie Group, and is one of Australia's deepest gorges.[5]
