On the west side of Adelaide is the sea, which can see the sunset. But look to the east, but it is a mountain, can not see the sunrise. If you want to see the sunrise, you still have to go south and go to (Victor Harbor)., the port of Victor, facing the sea to the east.
From downtown Adelaide, you can get there in just over an hour by car. The road was rolling hills, and driving was not as boring as the flat north, and a great straight road went to the end, making people want to sleep. It's not as steep as the mountain road to the east. Just watch out for the kangaroos who jaywalk. After crossing the two hills, one can see a long trestle connecting an island in the distance, which is the destination of the journey, Port Victor, the famous granite island of (Granite Island).
Pull over to the seaside and walk for a few minutes to the trestle. Herds of seagulls paced back and forth in the middle of the road, and had to be careful if they had food in their hands, but they would fly up and grab them.
Walking on the trestle, you can see two tracks, which are for the carriage. One of the features of Port Victor is the Mara Tram (Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram), which commutes between Port Viktor and Granite Island. It takes only a few bucks to experience it, and the carriage is not a regular ride.
On the trestle, the wind is very strong, the little girls remember to pull up their skirts, the little brothers remember to put clothes around the girls. Across the trestle, to the granite island. Go straight to the right and see a few huge rocks, get out of your cell phones or cameras, take a few photos, and swim here. To the back of the island, the wind increased, the rough waves flapped against the rocks on the shore, the air also mixed with the smell of the sea, stay here for a long time. Face and hair will also gradually become greasy. It's annoying to wash your hair again at night.
Walking on, it was a plank footpath, so long on the dirt road, it was nice to see the plank road. Tired of walking, you can take a sip of water and go to the bathroom in the coffee shop at the bottom of the mountain. On the right hand side there is a trestle made of boulders. Don't try to end, the time has tried, come back tired to become a dog of the times.
Here, the Granite Island's journey is basically over. Back in Port Viktor, you can buy something small at Crikey Mate Leather Goods & Giftware for a souvenir or give it to a girl. Then go to Nino's of Victor Harbor for lunch.
This is a pure western restaurant, in which every dish is delicious, Australia alone, after this village will not have this shop. Time Jun has eaten here countless times, every dish has been eaten, super delicious! Pat on the chest and promise. Time to remind you to go back before sunset, otherwise the sun on the road will be blinded by titanium alloy dog eyes.
In addition to daily tours, this is also a good place to watch the sunrise.
From Adelaide before four o'clock in the morning, the night road is not easy to walk, remember to turn on the high light, slow down the speed, but also to guard against kangaroo from the road, the times have nearly hit a kangaroo, but also excellent car dodging.
Upon arrival at Port Viktor, I watched the sky change from black to dark blue, from light blue to light powder, to orange: the sun came out.
Then go to Cafe Bavaria and enjoy a great breakfast, and a cup of coffee, full of blood to resurrect!
Take your family and children with you on weekends or holidays. Come to Port Viktor for a visit and enjoy the authentic Australian flavor. Ride a camel, ride a carriage. Blow the sea wind and feel the different islands and waves.
