The town is located between Balranald, Hay, Deniliquin and Swan Hill, at the junction of the Edward River and Billabong Creek. The name Moulamein is believed to be derived from a local Aboriginal word meaning "the meeting of the waters". However, another popular theory states it was named after the seaport of Mawlamyine in Myanmar, then known as Moulmein, which was the capital of British Burma at the time.
