Shoalhaven River
The Shoalhaven River is a river on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia.
The Shoalhaven rises on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range about 350 kilometers southwest of Sydney. The upper reaches flow northwards through an upland pastoral district near the town of Braidwood. The river works its way down into a remote canyon east of Goulburn and emerges into the coastal lowlands at Nowra in the Shoalhaven district. It enters the sea at Shoalhaven Heads about 150 kilometers south of Sydney.
Sydney's water supply is augmented by some water pumped out of the Shoalhaven River over the mountains into Lake Burragorang. However proposals for a major water storage at Welcome Reef on the upper Shoalhaven have been shelved.
