📍 Destination Overview
Victor Harbor, on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula, is Adelaide's nearest getaway. Granite Island, linked by a causeway, is famed for penguins returning at dusk, and its horse-drawn tram is unique in Australia. Southern right whales calve offshore in winter. Beaches and seafood please, about an hour from Adelaide.
