Summary

View of Victor Harbor from Granite Island. Granite Island was also known as Nulcoowarra by the Ramindjeri people. Horsedrawn trams commenced travelling along the jetty from 1862. Broad gauge track was first laid from the mainland to the island in 1875. The first double decker passenger service began in 1894. The screwpile jetty was finished in 1882 and thus expanded Victor Harbor's capacity as a seaport. The iron piles were screwed into the limestone seabed. A branch on the jetty contained a safe fenced swimming area.
