Our little village on the Clyde is a retreat for nature lovers, an angler's paradise and a safe place to swim and canoe. You can head upstream to Shallow Crossing, on the water or by car, to explore the headwaters of the river. You can sample fresh berries at the Clyde River Berry Farm, or you can head downstream and sample fresh oysters from a river that has just been awarded the export stamp of approval for the quality of its water.
Or simply stay in Nelligen - pronounced, should you wish to know, with a hard "g" - and chase the local bream, flathead and jewfish, secure in the knowledge they thrive in one of Australia's cleanest waterways.
Visitors can explore Nelligen's quiet streets and learn something of its history. And after a great day in the outdoors, you can sip a cold one in the Steampacket Hotel, famous for its hospitality and woodfired pizza.
Nelligen is a popular destination for houseboats, who make the journey upstream from Batemans Bay. For landlubbers there are several quaint bed and breakfasts, great camping, cabins and self-contained waterfront units.
But getting back to the opening question, "Would you like to live here?" If you do, you could do a lot worse than buying Nelligen's - in fact, arguably the whole South Coast's - most spectacular waterfront property "Riverbend".
