Victor Harbour and Granite Island

We decided to visit hisotric Vicotr Harbour and to take a walk along the causeway to a place called Granite Island. The day was really wet and we thought we would have to cancel the trip over to the island as it is uninhabited and very open to the elements. The island is a very lovely place full of native vegetation which the national Trust are conserving. There are lots of interesting facts and stories about this island and it has a very strong Aboriginal heritage attached to it and that was nice to learn about. The rock the kids are stood on is called umberella rock and has been there for thousands of years. The day eventually cleared up and we had a lovely stroll around this very serene and peaceful island which is also home to the little penguins where there are also steps in place to protect and conserve their breeding and habitat. Victor Harbour is an historical town which is famous for the Whales. During may-oct the Southern Right Whale uses Victor Harbour as a breeding ground and where they rear their calves during the winter months. We have not had chance to see this but most certainly will be doing this year as I am told it is a magnificent sight.
