River

[edit | edit source]

The locality of Cygnet River is named for the watercourse also named Cygnet River. It is the longest river on Kangaroo Island. They are named after Cygnet, which was the fifth ship to arrive in South Australia in 1836.[10] The river empties via a delta on the western shore of Western Cove, part of Nepean Bay.[11] It was previously named "Three Well River"[12] and the location of Henry Wallen's farm,[13] then (briefly) Morgan River, after Robert Clark Morgan, the captain of Duke of York, first of the First Fleet of South Australia to arrive.[14]
