Inkerman Creek

Inkerman Creek is a tidal stream in Queensland's Fitzroy River Delta, on the Capricorn Coast near Port Alma.

The creek is a popular destination for recreational fishing and crabbing, with barramundi, king threadfin, and javelin grunter among the most commonly targeted species.

The surrounding estuary country is known for its remote, wild character and strong tidal currents. A boat ramp providing access to the creek and offshore destinations was completed in mid-2023 following its relocation from the Port Alma Shipping Terminal.

A proposed floating pontoon — a 50-metre structure with a concrete deck, solar lighting, and cleats — is under community consultation as of 2026, aimed at improving safety and ease of launching and retrieving boats in the challenging tidal conditions.
