Nelligen is a tiny town located on the Clyde River upstream from Batemans Bay. Located on the Kings Highway it is little more than a hotel, a cafe and a few homes. Its appeal lies in its easy access to the rive and it is particularly interesting as a minor chapter in the wild history of the Clarke Gang - bushrangers who marauded through the district during the Araluen goldrush of the 1860s. Today its points of interest include the opportunity to hire a houseboat and cruise around the peaceful Clyde River and a crusty, and very dead, tree stump which is an integral part of the history of the Clarke gang.
