Today we drove across to Victor Harbour to ride on the old Horse Tram. Road over was a bit of a challenge as very windy and not so good with the van on the back, but we made it with no issues.

The horse drawn tram was brilliant. It took passengers over to a small island about 1.5 km from town over a bridge/ causeway. Ride was slow but steady, actually I am fairly sure you could have walked faster, but that was not the point! The tram was beautifully restored and in all its finery.

Had lunch at the local fish shop (was the best in the state the sign says (but have seen that a few times now!)), as of course what else do we have for lunch when near the water.

Then on to the drive down to the Coorong, which is a very famous area, but seemed to me to be a bit of a swamp.Must admit it would have been a great place to relax and chill and see the birds, and take all day fishing (but not catch anything). All this sounds great for adults but not so great for kids!

Then on to Murray Bridge to see if we could sail aboard a real paddle steamer. Unfortunately for us, the paddle boat only sailed the day we arrived and left 1 hour before we got to town, bad luck and bad timing!

Anyway had a quick look around town and back to the view park. Got a nice view of the sun setting over the Murray river though ...
