Cowal is an Australian term of Aboriginal origin for a billabong or stagnant pool — a body of still water separated from a flowing river, typically oxbow-shaped and often seasonal. The word is used in parts of inland Australia, particularly in New South Wales and Queensland, where billabongs and water-filled depressions are important landmarks in the landscape. The term reflects the deep integration of Aboriginal Australian language into the vocabulary of inland Australia.
