The Mongarlowe River is a perennial river of the Shoalhaven catchment located in the Southern Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia.^[1] It was also known as Little River, during the 19th century.

Location and features

The river rises on the western slopes of the

course.^[2]

The river is crossed by the

Kings Highway northwest of Clyde Mountain.^[2] There are other road crossings at Monga, Mongarlowe and Marlowe

The river has a translocated population of the endangered Macquarie Perch (Macquaria australasica).^[3]^[4]^[5] It is thought that this population descends from fish from the Murray-Darling Basin and not the eastern sub-species native to other parts of the Shoalhaven catchment. In recent years, this population seems to be in decline and may be doomed to local extinction.^[6]
