Jerrabomberra Creek, a partly perennial stream of the Murrumbidgee catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the Capital Country region spanning both New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
Jerrabomberra is derived from the Aboriginal word, meaning "afraid of lightning".[1] The traditional custodians of the land surrounding Jerrabomberra Creek are the Ngunnawal Aboriginal people;[3] it lies close to the lands of the neighbouring Ngarigo people.[4]
