Terrys Creek, an urban watercourse[1] that is part of the Parramatta River catchment, is located in Northern Suburbs region of Sydney, Australia.
Course and features
Terrys Creek rises about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of the suburb of Dundas Valley, east of Marsden Road; with its headwaters forming the watershed boundary between the Hornsby Plateau and the Cumberland Plain. The creek flows generally north by north-east before reaching its confluence with Devlins Creek to form the Lane Cove River, north-east of the suburb of North Epping, in Lane Cove National Park. The course of the creek is approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi);[1] and the catchment area is 10.12 square kilometres (3.91 sq mi), spread over the Parramatta, Ryde and Hornsby local government areas.[2]
The catchment area has been subject to periodic flooding, most notably in 1967/8, November 1984, and in February 1990 when 174 residents were displaced as a result of rising flood waters. The 1984 flood resulted in flooding of a number of residential properties throughout the catchment, and also resulted in considerable damage and disruption in the Eastwood town centre.[3]
Terrys Creek is transversed by the Main North and the Northern railway lines, Epping Road, and the M2 Hills Motorway.
