For peace and relaxation this is an ideal place to get away from the rat race O**
The areas in and around have a lot to offer a visitor! :-)

Otherwise it looks like a really serene place. The ducks look very relaxed and
it seems like time is standing still kind of in your photos. Love it :yes:
Glad you also appreciate the sign lol lol
Mel no big 5 or red sands but ideal place to recharge ones batteries O/\

Took a drive to the lookout point :-)

Image

Ebb & Flow down below

Image

Coming down the hill found this island to be rather interesting O/\
O\/ Did not notice any human inhabitants as yet! =O:

Image

Then we were off to see the big tree ;-)
Nice mountain scenery on route there O:V

Image

Then we arrived at our destination

Image

It is an easy walk only +- 80 m from the parking area O/\

Image

The ferns are just beautiful

Image

So peaceful all you could hear were the Knysna Turaco's calling to each other -O-
The rest was deathly quiet O-/

Image

Image

Image

Even with this notification, which did not help 0- as the notice had been mutilated 0*\

Image

Image

I don’t think even if I lay down on the ground I would have been able to get the entire tree into the photo to the crown :shock:

Image

Part of the forest

Image

Interesting to see the different mushrooms and fungus growing on the stems and stumps of fallen trees :yes:

Image

In various colors and shapes

Image

Image

Tried to find the Malachite Kingfisher on our return, but it did not happen :no: but loved the reflection in the water O/\

Lovely evening light on the camp O/\ O/\

Beautiful scenery shots ^Q^ ^Q^

I love all the different fungus \O
More places could take a tip from them around the dog sign and implement!
In Switzerland we have them all over the place and people use them!! O:V

Very good, AN! ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Love the big trees, a true heritage...SANParks are chopping them down... @#$ https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=303&t=447


Nice attention to detail with the fungi...

I really can't understand why people have to carve their messages into things? I last did it as a small child, maybe that is the answer? O**

My favourite is the island! O/\
