Wilsons River, a perennial river and part of the Richmond River catchment, is situated in the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales, Australia. ==Course and features== The river rises on the eastern slopes of Jerusalem Mountain within the Nightcap National Park, and flows generally southeast, west southwest, and south, joined by five minor tributaries, before reaching its mouth at its confluence with the Richmond River, near Coraki; descending over its course.〔 The river passes through the major regional city of Lismore, where it is subject to seasonal flooding. The traditional custodians of the land surrounding the Wilsons River are the Aboriginal people of the Bundjalung clan, who lived as hunter-gatherers. Wilsons Creek was named after William Wilson, the first settler in Lismore, in the period 1844-5;〔 and in 1976, the stream was renamed as Wilsons River.〔(Lismore City Council ) Retrieved on 26 September 2008〕 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「Wilsons River (New South Wales)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
