0 In Australia, a low area of ground that was part of a river in the past and that only fills up with water from the river during a flood.
The creek, below its confluence with the Wolf, is continually losing its waters, throwing off arms and billabongs, especially to the west, which form swamps, clay-pans, and lagoons.
This is also apparently the only version that that uses billabongs instead of billabong.
The original billabong has long since been drained.
Sometimes the river will cut off a loop, shortening the channel and forming an oxbow lake or billabong.
We have a billabong, there's a swampland, a creek, we're on the river.
There were no mountain ranges, no rivers, no billabongs, no birds or animals - in fact not one living thing.
Previously the river and its associated billabongs had periodically dried back into a series of water holes.
It is often found in billabongs, dams and lakes at various salinity levels and in the lower reaches of rivers and streams.
