EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Victor Harbour in South Australia during the 1910s. The image, titled "The Causeway, Victor Harbour," showcases the iconic granite causeway that connects the mainland to Granite Island, a popular tourist destination. The causeway, constructed in the late 19th century, was an engineering marvel of its time and allowed easy access to the island, which was previously only reachable by boat. In the background, the calm waters of Encounter Bay reflect the clear blue sky and the surrounding hills, adding to the serene atmosphere. The quaint boats moored at the jetty and the horse-drawn carriages on the causeway provide a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of the region's rich history. Victor Harbour, located in the Fleurieu Peninsula, has long been a popular holiday destination for Australians. The area's natural beauty, combined with its historical significance, continues to attract visitors from around the world. The harbor was named after the HMS Victorious, which visited the area in 1802, making it one of the oldest European settlements in South Australia. This photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Victor Harbour and its history, which spans over two centuries. It invites us to imagine the experiences of those who have come before us and to appreciate the beauty of this unique place. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical sites and treasuring the memories of the past.
