Pambula River is an open semi-mature wave dominated barrier estuary[3] or perennial river located in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.

Course and features

Pambula River rises in timbered highlands near the locality of Lochiel and flows generally east, flowing through Pambula Lake, before reaching its mouth into the Tasman Sea of the South Pacific Ocean near the locality of Pambula Beach. The river descends 83 metres (272 ft) over its 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) course.[2]

The catchment area of the river is 296 square kilometres (114 sq mi) with a volume of 9,774 megalitres (345.2×10^6 cu ft) over a surface area of 4.7 square kilometres (1.8 sq mi), at an average depth of 2.2 metres (7 ft 3 in).[4]
