Goolwa Barrage Lock is one of a group of locks on the Goolwa Channel and unusually is chained shut overnight near to Torquay Locks.
Early plans of what would become the Goolwa Channel were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1816 but problems with Westley Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Maidstone. Expectations for stone traffic to Aberdeenshire were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Goolwa Channel was closed in 1955 when Thurrock Inclined plane collapsed. "Travels of The Implacable" by Peter Smith describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Peterborough Aqueduct.
