Victor Harbour (Port Elliot)

Mike is getting aquainted with his new best friend.
These Clydesdale horses are amazingly strong; they transport
people back and forth to Granite Island every 20 minutes.

Jarrod and Claire waiting to hitch a ride on the Clydesdale Tram.

Jarrod Man: Dad says my foot is big; not anymore.

Hairy Clairey: Clydesdales tend to spit alot. Also they wear a "poop bag"
so that the tram stays clean.

These cute little Fairy Penguins were waiting to have a feed.
Their numbers have come down from 2000 to 146.
Not sure of exact cause; volunteer rescue and rehabilitators say
that it could be lack of fish stock [Penguins Food] and increase in numbers
of NZ Fur Seals [Predators].

Hairy Clairey: Fairy Penguins are the cutest Penguins in the world; especially
when they eat. However Charlie was a bit bossy because he would not let his
wife Nellie out to feed when he was having a feed.
