Victor Harbour

The first weekend of September we made our own long weekend weekend and headed five hours south to Victor Harbour in the Friday night. There is another Canadian exchange couple living there so we stayed with them.

The kids woke up early on Saturday and after checking out the farmer's market we walked across the wooden bridge to a small island called Granite Island.

Once you are on Granite Island you can walk around it in 30 minutes, of course it takes longer with two little kids! It was a very windy day!

After a quick nap the Beers took us out to a beach where whales had been spotted earlier.

After being at the beach less than 30 minutes we started seeing two right whales, one just stayed at the top of the water while the other one kept showing off it's flukes!

We took in the view from a place called the Bluffs before heading home for a bbq.

On Sunday we spent the day on our own starting with taking the horse tram across the bridge to actually make it around the island followed by some ice cream. Then it was off to Horseshoe Bay for some fish and chips and more time at the beach before a dinner out at a little Italian Restaurant.
Monday morning we took a slight detour so we could go through a little town called Hahndorf. It is a small German based town with a few cute shops like a puppet shop and a cuckoo clock shop. Clint bought the world's smallest pocket knife measuring in at about one inch! I bought a koala puppet to use in my classroom when I get back.
A stop at Mt. Lofty for a view of Adelaide before hitting the beach once again and then driving the three hours north back to Port Augusta.
