Course
The Du Faur Creek (officially designated as a river[1]) rises on the Bell Range, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south-east of Bell, and flows generally north north-east before reaching its confluence with Bell Creek, in remote country within the Blue Mountains National Park, west of Mount Wilson. The river has an 8-kilometre (5.0 mi) course.[1]
The river is named in honour of Frederick Du Faur (1832-1915), an early Chief Draftsman of the NSW Department of Lands, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a Trustee of the Art Gallery of New South Wales.[1][2]
