Orara River, a perennial stream of the Clarence River catchment, is located in the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales, Australia. ==Course and features== Orara River rises on the eastern slopes of the Dorrigo Plateau, Great Dividing Range, east of Dorrigo and west of Boambee, and flows in a meandering course generally north east north and north west, joined by six tributaries including Urumbilum River and Kangaroo River, before reaching its confluence with the Clarence River, southeast of Copmanhurst. The river descends over its course;〔 and flows through the Dorrigo National Park in its upper reaches. Major communities along the river include Coramba, Nana Glen, Glenreagh, Coutts Crossing, Ramornie and Eatonville.〔 In recent years, the river has suffered from overuse, particularly due to irrigation projects and the river's use as the major source of water for the city of Coffs Harbour. This has led to siltation in the river, and the virtual decimation of the river's freshwater fish stocks. The name of the river is believed to be derived from ''Urara'', an Aboriginal phrase meaning "where the perch live".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orara River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
