Wallamba River, awatercourse of theMid-Coast Council[2] system, is located in theMid North Coast district ofNew South Wales, Australia.
Wallamba River rises on the northern slopes of Kyle Range, near the locality of Gangat. The river generally flows east and then south, joined by five minortributaries, before reaching itsconfluence with theCoolongolook River atWallis Lake; descending 271 metres (889 ft) over its 72 kilometres (45 mi)course.[3]
The river is transversed by thePacific Highway south ofNabiac.
At one stage, a riverboat milk pick-up service operated for the dairy farmers who farmed along the banks of the river. This service was discontinued in the mid-1970s due to economic reasons. Road milk tankers were then used to pick up from the farms.
Water skiing and fishing is popular along the Wallamba.
