Summary

The Causeway between Victor Harbor and Granite Island. In 1867 the pier was extended to reach Granite Island and this was called "The Causeway". The railway line continued to the northern edge of the island where a working jetty was constructed. From 1900 the horse tramway was operated. The Screwpile Jetty followed. It was named due to the unique technique of screwing the piles directly into the seabed. The breakwater was completed in 1882 using granite stone blasted from the eastern side of the Island
