Barker Inlet, Tidal inlet in Adelaide, South Australia.
Barker Inlet extends from St Kilda to Port Adelaide, featuring mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and wide mudflats along the Gulf St Vincent coastline.
Captain Collet Barker first sighted this waterway in 1831, leading to its subsequent use as an important maritime route for Adelaide's development.
The Kaurna people maintained deep connections to these waters, gathering shellfish and fish while utilizing local flora for traditional building materials.
Visitors can explore the inlet through boardwalks at Garden Island and St Kilda, offering direct access to observe marine life and coastal vegetation.
More than 30 abandoned ships from before 1945 rest within the inlet waters, transforming into natural platforms for numerous bird species.
