CLYDE RIVER (NEW SOUTH WALES)

(Redirected from Clyde River, New South Wales)
Wharf at Nelligen formerly used by the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company

The 'Clyde River' is a river on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia.
The Clyde rises in the Budawang Mountains about 30 kilometers inland from the coast behind Milton. It flows generally southwards parallel to the coast, before turning east and entering the sea at Batemans Bay. The lower reaches of the Clyde form a substantial estuary which is navigable by small vessels to Nelligen.
The river was named after the well-known Scottish River Clyde by Lieutenant Robert Johnson and Alexander Berry. They navigated the river on board the cutter ''Snapper'' in a voyage on 1 December 1821. [1] [2]
The Clyde River National Park includes the lower reaches of the Clyde.
