Victor Harbor, Administrative center on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia
Victor Harbor extends along the south coast of South Australia, 82 kilometers from Adelaide, featuring beaches and natural reserves for marine observation.
Matthew Flinders discovered the bay in 1802 during his coastal mapping expedition, encountering Nicolas Baudin's ship Le Geographe, which led to naming Encounter Bay.
The Victor Harbor Art Show attracts numerous artists and collectors, establishing itself as the largest outdoor art exhibition in Australia.
The region maintains multiple heritage buildings, including the 1884 railway station and Adare House from 1893, which remain open for public visits.
Southern right whales migrate past Victor Harbor annually, leading to the creation of the Whale Watch Centre in 1994 for scientific observation.
