Fleurieu Peninsula

VICTOR HARBOR About an hour away from Adelaide is the picturesque seaside town of Victor Harbor rumoured to have a lot of aged folk and nicknamed 'God's waiting room', not a bad spot to be waiting for him. Driving here you pass through Mclaren Vale which has rolling hills and hectares of grapevines. We walked to the top of the bluff in the background of the photo.

GRANITE ISLAND From the esplanade you can walk along this 500 metre pier or hop on the horse drawn tram across to the island, we walked. The island has scrubby bush and the only wildlife we saw was a mouse but there were lot's of birds - shags, pelicans, seagulls and hawks, fortunately we did not see any of the 42 species of snakes found in South Australia. A great coastline and islands with granite rocks, such a contrast from the Great Ocean Road.

We have spent the last couple of days looking at the great Art Gallery, Museum and Botanical Gardens in the city of Adelaide.
