Port Victoria

#summervacay Port Victoria, a captivating coastal town on the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia: Port Victoria — Last of the Windjammer Ports Located on Spencer Gulf, about 190 km northwest of Adelaide, the town was formerly known as Wauraltee, officially renamed in 1940 after the survey vessel Victoria . From the late 19th century through 1949, it served as a major grain export port, where vast windjammers were loaded offshore—earning its title as Australia’s last operating windjammer port . Located in an 1878 cargo shed at the land end of the jetty, this museum immerses visitors in the grain-loading era with photographs, artefacts, and stories of the windjammer trade and Cape Horn sailors, or “Cape Horners” . #beachlife #naturalwonders #thingstodo
