Clarence Town, NSW

Clarence Town is thought to be the seventh oldest settlement in Australia and was the area’s centre for shipping until the railway reached Dungog in 1911.

Clarence Town

Many historic buildings remain but the Williams River is the town’s major attraction. A paradise for water skiers who can camp right on the edge of the water with their boat moored within easy reach, the river is wide and conditions are ideal for skiing.

Bridge reserve caravan park is a camping spot for non skiers also right on the river. This is a peaceful spot and the natural landscape is very beautiful.

The local stores will supply all your camping needs or if you don’t wish to camp you can stay at the Erringhi Hotel or Deptford Gardens.
