The Salt River (Afrikaans: Soutrivier) is a river in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is a confluence of the Black River which just previously has been confluenced by the Elsieskraal River, and the Liesbeeck River.[1] It flows into Table Bay at the Salt River mouth. Its catchment is part of the Central Management Area of the City of Cape Town.[2] In 1510 the area was the scene of the Battle of Salt River. On 24 May 1695 the VOC ships Oosterland and Kallendijk wrecked at the mouth of the river.[3]
