Pt Elliot Day 2




It was much warmer today so we decided to walk to the next town of Victor Harbor and back, about 6km’s down the beach, we got about half way and couldn’t walk on the sand anymore because it was to course and your feet were sinking in, making walking a hard task. We just went up some stairs and there was a bicycle trail following the coast to the city anyway and then we seen a old touristy train go by back to Pt Elliot so we knew how we would be getting back!!! When we did make it to the city we were tired and hungry so we had a break and had a sandwich we had brought with us. Across from the city was Granite Island, you could catch a horse drawn tram, but we just walked across and did the trail around the island, about 1.5km’s. One of the signs said that if the island would have been limestone like most of the country, and not granite, it would have been washed away by the ocean long ago. We made it back to the super market to buy meat for the barbie and just made it to the “Cockle Train” Australia’s Oldest Railway Line, for a train ride back to Port Elliot. Back at the hostel we cooked up a great BBQ, filled our bellies and just chilled out for the rest of the night!
