Fishing near Gawler, South Australia

Gawler sits at the junction of the North Para and South Para rivers in South Australia's Barossa region, with the Gawler River running past town itself. Local anglers work the nearby rivers for carp and redfin (European perch), while the sheltered coastline of Gulf St Vincent — including Port Gawler Creek and the northern Adelaide beaches — puts estuarine species like bream, yellowfin whiting, King George whiting, mullet, and Australian salmon within easy reach.
