Watershed Landcare covers an area of approximately 700,000 ha (7000 km 2) around the towns of Gulgong, Mudgee and Rylstone in the Central West. It stretches to Gulgong in the north, Burrendong Dam in the west, the Turon River in the south and the Wollemi National Park in the east.

The Watershed region straddles the Great Dividing Range with the south eastern corner (17%) draining east, via the Capertee River, into the Hawkesbury/Nepean River and the remainder (83%) draining west, via the Cudgegong River, into the Macquarie River.
