The road to Victor Harbour

The countryside became lusher the closer we got to the coast

Victor Harbor is a nice town on the Southern Ocean.

A horse drawn wagon on tracks usually takes visitors to Granite Island. Very strong winds closed the ride – we walked anyway.

A lull in the gusts allowed a quick photo

We made it to Granite Island but hurried back due to the conditions. Gusts reached 100km/hr overnight.

Time to warm up with dinner at the Victor Harbor Hotel.
