Ourimbah Creek, a perennial river of the Central Coast catchment, is located in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.
Ourimbah Creek rises on the southern slopes of the Hunter Range, about 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi) south of Kulnura. The river flows generally south southeast and east northeast, before reaching its mouth within Tuggerah Lake, about 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) southeast of Tuggerah.[1] The river descends 304 metres (997 ft) over its 37-kilometre (23 mi) course.[2]
Ourimbah Creek and the Wyong River supply most of the fresh water that flows into Tuggerah Lake, which is usually open to the Tasman Sea at The Entrance.[2]
The Pacific Motorway and the Central Coast Highway both cross the river, at Kangy Angy.[2]
