Victor Harbor South Australia
Victor Harbor South Australia is a city on the coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula, about 80 km south of Adelaide. The city is the largest population centre on the peninsula, with an economy based upon agriculture, fisheries and various industries. It is also a highly popular tourist destination, with the city’s population greatly expanded during the summer holidays.
One of the main activities
Let the games begin in Victor Harbor. I’m guessing this may well be the main sporting activity in this South Australian town. 🙂
Victor Harbor South Australia
Some lovely old stone buildings in Victor Harbor.
Victor Harbor South Australia The Anchorage
A rather typical South Australian hotel.
Victor Harbor South Australia
Quite a pleasant 80 kilometer drive south of Adelaide.
Norfolk Pines
All around this part of the coast from here to Adelaide you will find Norfolk pines.
Aldinga Beach
On my way to Victor Harbor I drove along the coast to Cape Jervis via Aldinger Beach.
Roadside cafe & hotel
Stopped here for coffee about an hour south of Adelaide. I certainly would recommend a road trip around this coastal area.
Cape Jervis
These are the only shops in this desolate South Australian town, why anybody would live here is beyond me.
What a monstosity
Clearly the builder never employed an architect, good luck trying to sell it.
The Kangaroo Island ferry at Cape Jervis
Thinking back I wish I had taken the time to travel to Kangaroo Island. Oh well, perhaps I’ll return one day however I doubt it. One thing I know it’s not a place I would like to be in winter.
Kangaroo Island fires January 2020
Almost half of Kangaroo Island has been scorched as damage assessments continue into the devastating bushfires still burning on the South Australian island.
Smoke on Kangaroo Island
Overnight, many residents and tourists evacuated to Kingscote where they spent a sleepless night on the town’s oval and close to the jetty. Evacuees and residents have been stranded with many road closures still in place.
Back to civilization
I enjoyed my short road trip, in 24 hours I will visit Hahndorf on my way to Phillip Island via the Great Ocean Road. Thanks for visiting my Victor Harbor South Australia photo blog.
