Victor Harbour

Victor Harbour is a beautiful spot just 90 minutes from Adelaide, so is well populated with retirees - we felt right at home!

We stayed in a caravan park here. It's a very popular spot, being less than 90 minutes from Adelaide, so no free camping. We made full use of the facilities and got our $30 per day's value.

While here we took advantage of a mobile mechanic and had the bearings on the caravan checked.

As it turned out, nothing wrong... better safe than sorry.

Victor Harbour and the area around it is well known for a few things...

It has a famous causeway to Granite Island, reached on foot or on a tram drawn by Clydesdales.

Near Victor Harbour is Goolwa, the mouth of the Murray (and where Storm Boy lived). It's where the first of five barrages that stop the tidal salt water flowing upstream are.

Love the NZ fur seals lazing on the barrages

We left Victor Harbour and crossed both the Murray and Lake Alexandrina to stay at a lovely grassy free camp at Narrung Ferry Campground on the way to Robe and Kingston, where we'll stay for a few nights tomorrow.

Australia's ONLY inland lighthouse is here on Lake Alexandrina near the Narrung Ferry
