Corner Inlet

Corner Inlet is a marine inlet with extensive wetlands along Victoria's southeastern coast, featuring tidal creeks, mangroves, seagrass meadows, mudflats, and saltmarshes. The site encompasses a vast expanse of interconnected habitats that support diverse wildlife populations.

The designation as a Ramsar site in 1982 marked its international recognition as a wetland of global importance for waterbird conservation. This formal status reflected the inlet's critical role in protecting migratory and resident bird populations.

The Gunaikurnai, Bunurong, and Boon Wurrung peoples have maintained deep ties to these waters and surrounding territories for countless generations. Their relationship with the inlet remains central to how local communities understand and connect with this place today.

Access to the inlet works best for bird watchers and nature explorers, with conditions varying by tidal patterns and season. Visitors should come prepared for the coastal environment and bring proper gear for outdoor activities.

The inlet holds the world's southernmost mangrove population and harbors around 29,000 waders during migration periods. These numbers make it an exceptionally important stopping point for bird migrations and coastal ecosystem study.
