The Commissioners Waters, a watercourse[1] that is part of the Macleay River catchment, is located in the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia.

Course and features

Formed by the confluence of the Dumaresq Creek and Tilbuster Ponds, Commissioners Waters about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) east of Armidale. The river flows generally to the southeast by south, joined by a minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Gara River.[1] The river descends 56 metres (184 ft) over its 19 kilometres (12 mi) course.[2]

The river is transversed by the Waterfall Way,[2] and is named in honour of Commissioner McDonald, the first Commissioner of Crown Lands in Armidale.[1]
