Nelligen suburb profile
Nelligen is a small riverside village on the Clyde River in Eurobodalla Shire on the South Coast of New South Wales. The settlement has a quiet, historic character with weatherboard cottages and a compact village centre beside the water, and the Princes Highway crosses the Clyde at Nelligen Bridge.
The river shapes daily life here, with boat ramps, fishing spots and riverside walks, while surrounding bushland and grazing paddocks give a rural outlook. Road links via the highway connect the village to larger coastal town centres, and the area retains a relaxed, low-density feel.
