🐴💔The City of Victor Harbor and the Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram team are saddened to confirm the passing of much-loved Clydesdale horse, Albert, following a short illness.

At 18 years of age, Albert was a valued member of the Horse Drawn Tram team for 13 years and held a special place in the hearts of staff, volunteers, drivers and visitors alike.

We will remember him for his calm confident nature, gentle temperament and unique personality. He famously disliked fishing rods and preferred not to wear winkers, so he could see everything happening around him.

Albert's contribution to the Horse Drawn Tram experience and the joy he brought to residents and visitors over many years will be fondly remembered

We ask the community to be mindful of the impact of Albert’s loss on the tramway staff and volunteers to whom Albert was a much-loved colleague and companion of many years.

Congratulations not only to all the winners, but to everyone who entered. This year's competition received over a thousand entries across the three council areas. Just one example of our regional councils working together.
