Shallow Inlet is a marine inlet , opening onto Waratah Bay on the western side of the Yanakie Isthmus in South Gippsland , Victoria , south-eastern Australia . It lies close to the small holiday communities of Sandy Point and Yanakie , as well as to Wilsons Promontory and the Wilsons Promontory National Park .
Description [ edit ]
The inlet is a shallow, curving, 18 km 2 tidal embayment with a single channel to the sea. On the seaward side it is enclosed by a barrier of sandy spits , bars and mobile dunes . The extensive intertidal mudflats and areas of sand provide habitat for waders , or shorebirds. Fringing the mudflats are areas of saltmarsh .[2]
The inlet has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because it supports over 1% of the world populations of double-banded plovers and red-necked stints , and has supported the critically endangered orange-bellied parrot .[3] eastern curlews , Pacific golden plovers , curlew sandpipers and sanderlings .
