Walcott Inlet, Coastal inlet in Kimberley region, Western Australia.
Walcott Inlet extends 66 kilometers in length and 9 kilometers in width, covering 257 square kilometers of Western Australian coastline.
The inlet received its name in 1865 from Trevarton Charles Sholl during an expedition from Camden Harbor settlement, honoring Stephen Walcott of the Government Emigration Board.
Three major rivers, the Charnley, Calder, and Isdell, converge at the eastern section of the inlet, creating a significant water system for local communities.
Visitors require careful navigation through Yule Entrance, which measures 450 meters at its narrowest point and experiences strong tidal flows reaching 11 meters.
The inlet features a tidal-dominated ecosystem covering 12,732 square kilometers of catchment area in near-original condition.
