Port River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 dolphins, 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.
