Clyde River is a national park in south-eastern New South Wales (Australia) between Batemans Bay and Nelligen. It includes 9 km of river frontage to the Clyde River, bounded on three sides by the Clyde River and on the northeast by the Kings Highway. It was created from a part of Benandarah State Forest; in 2000 10.91 km2 of the state forest was set aside as a national park.[1] The park forms part of the Ulladulla to Merimbula Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for swift parrots.[2]
This national park is a natural playground, where you can go fishing, kayaking, canoeing, swimming and at the same time enjoy the beautiful landscape.[3]
Primarily, this is the land of the Walbunja people, the Clyde River has been an inexhaustible source of food for them for thousands of years.[4]
