Victor Harbor, South Australia

Victor Harbor is a city on the coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, Australia.

It is a popular resort and tourist destination, only a short drive from the capital city of Adelaide. A popular site for visitors is Granite Island, separated from the mainland by a short tram/pedestrian bridge. The tram service is provided by the Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram, one of the very few horse-drawn tram routes remaining in public transit service.

Despite the fact that the International English (and therefore Australian) spelling is Harbour, the city itself is spelled Harbor without the u.

The area has a population of around 11,000, and was declared a city in 2000.
