Summary

A horse-drawn tram on the Goolwa to Port Elliot railway line. Identified as the 'first South Australian tramway', this line was opened in 1854, with horses used to pull the trams until the introduction of steam engines in 1884. The line was extended to Victor Harbor in 1864 and continues to operate as a light rail link known as the Cockle Train.
