Burns Creek (Sydney)

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

Burns Creek is a small urban watercourse in south-western Sydney that is a tributary of Prospect Creek. It is located predominantly in the suburb of Fairfield East in the City of Fairfield, New South Wales, Australia. Short in length, the creek flows from west to east, where it starts as a confluence from the Prospect Creek just below The Horsley Drive (near Patrician Brothers' College, Fairfield) and flows to the eastern portion of Tangerine Street, before becoming a drain in Villawood to the southeast. The rivulet has an even smaller tributary which is the concrete-walled Stimsons Creek to the north.

Flows through: Australia.
