There was a legal case involving the wrongful death of someone in a boat that needed the boundary better defined for jurisdictional reasons and some older documents said “the whole watercourse” was part of NSW: https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/cases/cth/HCA/1980/11.html

It follows the middle of the river for part of it and the southern bank for the rest.
