Information About

Port River




Port River () is a River that runs through Port Adelaide , a part of the capital of South Australia , Adelaide . One of its main attractions other than transport are the Port River Dolphin s, who live in it. They are the only dolphins in the world that live within a city.

The Port River does not flow from any significant source. Most of its length it is a tidal Inlet from Gulf Saint Vincent . It drains the West Lakes district of the western suburbs of Adelaide. West Lakes was once a low-lying Swamp , but has now been built up, and is now a middle-class suburb with wetlands and ponds. The lakes are salt water, and maintain a healthy population of Blue-ringed Octopus and other marine life.
