Anderson Inlet, Coastal inlet in South Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.
Anderson Inlet forms a 2,400-hectare shallow estuary at the mouth of the Tarwin River, opening into Bass Strait near the town of Inverloch.
Named after Samuel Anderson, the first European settler in the region, this inlet has been a traditional fishing ground for Indigenous Australians for thousands of years.
The inlet functions as an Important Bird Area, supporting populations of over 6,000 red-necked stints and multiple protected bird species throughout the seasons.
Visitors can access boat launching facilities at Inverloch and Maher's Landing, with specific regulations requiring operators to carry tide tables for safety measures.
During low tide, extensive intertidal mudflats emerge, creating essential feeding grounds for migratory waders and supporting various marine ecosystems.
