Archie Badenoch Port River Cruise
Archie Badenoch Port River Cruise
A guided tour of the Port River on our historic vessel Archie Badenoch. Students will learn about the significance of the riverfront for the Kaurna People, its changing use from a port to an industrial area to a residential community, as well as factors that impact the river environment and its role as a dolphin sanctuary. Sites include Hart’s Mill, the lifting Tom ‘Diver’ Derrick Bridge, the 1864 clipper ship City of Adelaide – and perhaps a dolphin!
