The Division of Barker is an Australian Electoral Division in South Australia. The division was created in 1903 and is named for Collett Barker , an early explorer of the region at the mouth of the Murray River. It has always been based in the south-eastern rural areas of South Australia, centered on Bordertown and Mt Gambier , but in recent years its boundaries have been extended to the north to include Riverland towns such as Renmark, South Australia|Renmark]]. Barker has always been a safe seat for the conservative parties, and has been held continuously since 1949 by the Liberal Party. Its most prominent members have been Archie Cameron, a leader of the Country Party and later Speaker of the House and Ian McLachlan , a Cabinet minister in the Howard government.
