The '''Erskine Creek''', a [[perennial stream]] of the [[Hawkesbury River|Hawkesbury]]-[[Nepean River|Nepean]] catchment, is located in the [[Blue Mountains (New South Wales)|Blue Mountains]] region of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]].
 
==Course==
Formed by the [[confluence]] of the [[Bedford Creek|Bedford]] and Glen Erskine creeks, the Erskine Creek (officially designated a [[river]]<ref name=gnb>{{NSW GNR|id=JPjtXtWAMn |title=Erskine Creek |date=25 July 1969 |accessdateaccess-date=24 December 2013}}</ref>) rises below Mount Erskine, between {{NSWcity|Bullaburra}} and {{NSWcity|Wentworth Falls}}, and flows generally south, north-east, and east, before reaching its confluence with the [[Nepean River]], near {{NSWcity|Mulgoa}}. The river descends {{convert|329|m}} over its {{convert|21|km|adj=on}} [[watercourse|course]].<ref name=bonzle/>
 
The river is entirely contained within the [[World Heritage Site|world heritage]]-listed [[Blue Mountains National Park]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/parkHome.aspx?id=N0004&s=Glenbrook#secStart |title=Blue Mountains National Park: Sector map: Glenbrook |work=[[National Parks and Wildlife Service (New South Wales)|NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service]] |publisher=[[Government of New South Wales]] |access-date= |accessdate=24 December 2013}}</ref>
