Barmera is a town in the Riverland region of South Australia. Barmera is on the Sturt Highway A20, 220 kilometres north-east of Adelaide, the capital of the state of South Australia. Barmera is primarily an agricultural and viticultural town and is located on Lake Bonney Riverland, a freshwater lake. The population of Barmera was 3015 in 2011. Barmera lies in the middle of a swooping hairpin bend of the Murray River, close to the Victorian border, but it is hard to tell where the river stops and where the flood plains and tributaries begin in the area to the west of town. The wetlands eventually flow into Lake Bonney, a large body of water to the north of Barmera. Barmera exists in a semi-arid location, north of Goyder's Line. Barmera is surrounded by mallee scrub.
