Obx Creek (CREEK), NSW Details
Description
Partly perennial stream rising in E slopes of Buccarumbi Range about 3 km NNW of Martin Trig. Station. It flows generally NNE for about 13.5 km into Chambigne Creek.
Origin
The Bloxoms were early landowners in this area. Whilst carting bales of wool a cart overturned dumping several bales of wool in a creek.
