The home and paddocks of the famous Horse Drawn Tram Clydesdales. You will find them here resting and relaxing when they are not on duty.
Sit a moment, listen and watch the birdlife around you.
The area is frequently flooded as the water table is very close to the surface. Red Gums flourish in the cycle of wet and dry conditions.
Victor Harbor was settled in 1839 and the Cemetery commenced soon after in 1860. Many members of our pioneering families are buried here.
