Nostalgic
A Nostalgic Journey
The horse drawn tram
Which commutes across the causeway
Throughout the day
Was first built in 1894
A unique and wonderful experience
When one Ventures out for the Day
To the Historic Town of
Victor Harbor.
These beautiful old trams are very few in the world today
Fourteen Hefty and Magnificent
Clydesdale Horses Pull The Trams
From Victor Harbor across the Old Wooden Causeway
To Granite Island.
Every time I visit I am reminded
Nostalgically
Of The Many Clip-pity Clop
Rides My Family and I have Taken over time
what an odd looking vehicle. i have never seen anything like that.
ReplyDeleteIt is very odd as it is also very unique Z.
ReplyDeleteYou would love to ride in it though as it is like stepping wayyyyy back in time.
It has quite a smooth ride to it actually. It is one of only three horse drawn tramways anywhere in the world. (The others are in Japan and on the Isle of Man.)
The horses have there pulling pace down pat and as the causeway is quite narrow people walk to one side as the trams pass by.
Fascinating. I grew up in a city that had an electric tram system, which was in the process of being phased out when I was a small boy. I loved to watch them. I've never seen a horse-drawn version, although I have heard of the one on the Isle Of Man.
ReplyDeleteI like this picture very much

We too had trams in Adelaide and still do but they are the modern kind.

ReplyDeleteLove this photo. We visited Granite island when my son was 2 (17 yrs ago) and since then, Ive had a nightmare where that bridge is collapsing behind me, as I run back to mainland. So Ive told hubby we are never walking across it again lol
