Rufus River, NSW 2648, is a small and remote locality in southwestern New South Wales, near the border with South Australia and Victoria. Situated along the banks of the Rufus River and adjacent to Lake Victoria, the area is characterized by its arid, semi-desert landscape and sparse population. Historically, Rufus River is significant for its role in Indigenous and European history, particularly during the colonial period when conflicts arose between settlers and the local Aboriginal people. Today, it is largely undeveloped, with limited infrastructure, and serves as a destination for those exploring the region's natural beauty or its historical heritage. The area is also part of the Murray-Darling Basin, contributing to its ecological importance.
