Day 67, Sunday, March 19, 2006 Unable to book the Kangaroo Island tour today, we drove the short distance across the peninsula to the resort town of Victor Harbour. The landscape here seems so out of place so near the sea, it’s rolling hills, grazing land, almost like Alberta. Victor Harbour is a neat little town with lots of restaurants, cafes and bars. The tiny Granite Island, connected to Victor Harbour by a causeway, is home to a Small Penguin Colony. Five or six of the little birds were perched on some rocks a considerable distance from any vantage point, making it difficult to see much detail. We walked the trail around the island that provided great views of Encounter Bay, named for the chance meeting of British and French ships exploring the south seas in the early 1800’s.
