From Victor Harbor to Granite Island by horse tram | Australia


Postcard
The Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Trams are a South Australian icon and have been serving visitors to Granite Island and Victor Harbor since 1894. 

The Tram uses 14 Clydesdale Horses on a rotational basis to transport approximately 50 passengers for each ride. Each horse works only two shifts a week with the trams running on roller bearings, to make it easy work for them.

Stamps
A series of four stamps dedicated to four iconic tourist-transport-vehicles (2015).

Thx again Steve!

I learn something new because I didn't think they had horse drawn trams there. Cool
