Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram

In 2014, in Victor Harbor, a coastal town about an hour south of Adelaide, there continues a tradition started in the late 1800's of using a horse drawn tram service from victor harbor to granite island.

The current trams were built in the mid 1980's, double storey and still look great today, thanks to regular maintenance and being stored undercover in a secure tram shed near to the victor harbor tram stop.

Here is the shed:

A couple of trams are already in service today with two in storage...here is Tram No. 4:

There is a small manual turntable to turn the tram around for the return journey. A signboard shows the ride details - schedule and fares.

It is well worth the visit to Victor harbor to ride the horse drawn tram!
