Port Victoria was one of the australian grain loading points, distributed along the Spencer Gulf, situated on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.

The jetty was built in 1888.

The last windjammer to load there was the Passat in 1949.

The jetty and the Museum

Now, it is a little touristic place with 250 inhabitants, where a geological trail shaws the volcanic history.
