Colo River

The Colo River is a river in New South Wales, Australia. The headwaters of the Colo are called the Capertee River and drain the Capertee Valley north of Lithgow. The river flows eastwards through a series of deep canyons through the northern section of the Blue Mountains. Parts of the river traverse the Wollemi National Park . The middle Colo is so inaccesible, rugged and remote that it supposedly was not traversed until the Leyland Brothers expedition in about 1970.
Emerging from the wilderness region, the lower part of the Colo River flows through a scenic, narrow agricultural valley and reaches the Hawkesbury River at Lower Portland north of Windsor. Tributaries of the Colo include the Wolgan River, the Wollongambee Creek and the Wollemi Creek.
