Goolwa was Australia’s first inland port. The paddle steamer ‘Oscar W’, built in 1908, still runs river tours from the main wharf. The beginning of Australia’s first railway line was also a historic milestone for Goolwa. It was used for transportation of goods, firstly to Port Elliot, before being extended to Victor Harbor. The famous ‘Cockle Train’ still travels along that same route on the original broad gauge tracks. A trip not to be missed as it winds its way through some magnificent coastal scenery. Available every Sunday and everyday throughout SA school Holidays. Goolwa (named after the Ngarrindjeri word meaning ‘elbow’) was the first non-European town to be awarded the name of ‘Cittaslow’ meaning ‘slow town’. Judged on 5 different criteria (environment, infrastructure, quality of urban fabric, local produce and products, hospitality, awareness and education), there is bound to be something for people of all ages to experience and enjoy.
