We stayed at a historic inn that had bedrooms upstairs and a pub and restaurant downstairs. The view from our porch was fantastic with a game of lawn bowling, some Aussie rules footballers, waves crashing into the beach, and an island all in view.
We enjoyed a bottle of red purchased along the way before & after meals. The tranquility, especially of sunsets & sunrises (at least I heard about that last one) was remarkable.
Here is a view of The Anchorage, our hotel. Notice its location between the RR and the bay. Funny how we continue to gravitate towards trains. We rode a train to the neighboring town of Goowla.
Here's a shot at the Victor Harbour station. The green car was the best one of the lot, but I went into each car to see the differences. They dated to different periods.
Check out the luggage racks above everyone's head. Also notice how the windows are. The seats were covered in leather. We brought lemonade with us for the trip and cashews. It was a beautiful trip right along the coast. Beaches to one side and farmland to the other.
When we reached Goolwa, it was the wooden boat festival (South Australia is known as the FESTIVAL state after all). Many many cute wooden boats came together and were on parade. There was food & wine and a very hot sun. Booths with information about where to go to fix your boat or historic steamships along the Murray river dotted around the port.
