Bourke is a town and Local Government Area in the north of NewSouthWales, Australia.
Bourke is located approximately 800 kilometers north-west of Sydney, on the south bank of the Darling River, which is known as the BarwonRiver upstream from Bourke.
Bourke is considered to represent the edge of the settled agricultural districts and the gateway to the Outback which lies north and west of Bourke.
The principal topographic feature of NewSouthWales is the series of low highlands and plateaus called the Great Dividing Range which extend from north to south roughly parallel to the coast of the Tasman Sea.
The two main categories of rivers in NewSouthWales, are those which rise in the Great Dividing Range and flow directly eastwards to the sea, and those which rise on the other side of the crest of the range and flow westward towards the desert.
The second group of inland-flowing rivers in NewSouthWales are those which rise in the southern part of the State and combine directly with the Murray River which forms the southern border of NewSouthWales with Victoria.
