Course and features

Commissioners Waters was formed by the confluence of the Dumaresq Creek and Tilbuster Ponds. Commissioners Waters is located about east of Armidale. The river flows generally to the southeast by south, joined by a minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Gara River. The river descends over its course.

The river is traversed by the Waterfall Way,[1] and is named in honour of Commissioner McDonald, the first Commissioner of Crown Lands in Armidale.
