Broken Creek, near Numurkah, is a popular fishing spot for native species like yellowbelly and Murray cod. Bait options include worms, freshwater shrimp and yabbies. The creek is also renowned for its abundant yabbies.
Its source is the Broken River, which diverges from it at Casey’s Weir near Benalla. The Broken River itself has a major storage facility, Lake Nillahcootie. From Casey’s Weir, the Upper Broken Creek flows north while the main creek flows west to the Murray River at Barmah. The Broken River is joined by Boosey Creek and Nine Mile Creek and its lower section receives regulated flows from irrigation channels.
