Nelligen is a small, tranquil town situated on the Clyde River in New South Wales, Australia, about 10 kilometers west of Batemans Bay. Nestled in a picturesque location, this charming village offers a relaxed lifestyle, scenic river views, and a strong connection to nature and history.
Nelligen was once a key river port during the 19th century. The town served as a hub for the timber industry, where logs from the surrounding forests were shipped to Sydney and other parts of New South Wales.
Wharf & Bridge: The Nelligen Wharf and the Nelligen Bridge are historic landmarks in the town.
