“The Cockle Train travels along the oldest steel railed railway in Australia dating back to 1887 when it was constructed to provide a link between the River Murray and the ocean wharfs at Pt Elliot and later at Victor Harbor.”

Join us as we tour via Adelaide's leafy eastern suburbs to the lookout at Mount Lofty Summit from where you can enjoy spectacular views of Adelaide and surrounds. (A great photo opportunity). We then visit Hahndorf where a whole range of surprising experiences await you in this popular historic German township.

Goolwa

Goolwa, a native word believed to mean 'The Elbow'. In 1853 Goolwa was 'expected to progress as the Cresent City of the Australian Mississippi' and was once a river port. Today Goolwa is a popular tourist destination at the mouth of the River Murray.
 
Here you have the opportunity on Sundays only to board the Cockle Train (own expense) for a 30 minute journey from Goolwa to Victor Harbor tracking along some of the most picturesque coast on the Fleurieu Peninsula, with nothing separating you from the beach below and a perfect view of the Southern Ocean. You then meet the coach at Victor Harbor at a designated location at the end of your free time spent in Victor Harbor

 

Victor Harbour Coast

Travel along the coast to Victor Harbor, a former whaling and shipping port. Visit the Whale Centre and Museum (Optional). Here you can visit Granite Island and its Fairy Penguins, ride the famous Horse Drawn Tram (Optional).
Or just enjoy the seaside atmosphere. (Whale sightings May - October). At Victor Harbor, you can purchase lunch at one of the many cafes or hotels or bring your own.
