Knysna Heads

Dit is ongelooflik mooi om daar bo te staan en die natuurwonder te aanskou.
 
Separated by around 300 metres of water, The Knysna Heads are the headlands of two peninsulas that enclose and form the Knysna River Estuary. Formed over geological time beginning as far back as the break-up of the supercontinent, Gondwana, during the Jurassic, 180 million years ago. the Knysna Heads can be described as the rocky headlands at the western and eastern ends of the two peninsulas that embrace and define the Knysna basin. They also frame the Knysna Estuary’s only entrance to the sea.

Lank gelede in die laeveld

Herinneringe oor die kap van Oom Paul se monument by Kruger Hek.
 
Anna du Toit skryf dat haar my man en sy asook hulle twee kleintjies aan die einde van 1973 vir ses maande op Skukuza moes bly vir tegniese werk rakende die padnetwerk waarby hy betrokke was.
 
Sy vertel sy was dikwels alleen tuis en het sommer vanaf die personeeldorp gestap na die perseel waar die bekende Suid Afrikaanse beelhouer, Coert Steynberg besig was met die beeldhouwerk van Paul Kruger.
