Summary

View of Granite Island from the Victor Harbor jetty. Shallow waters prevented ships from docking close to shore, making the passage of goods very difficult. A broad gauge railway track, seen here, was laid on the causeway to make the transportation of these goods possible. In 1894, the first double deck horse drawn passenger tram carried tourists from Victor Harbor to Granite Island.
