Within 100 metres of the entrance one finds the Albisini ruins and the remains of Joao Albasini's trading store from 1846, which he bought from Chief Magashula for 22 cows. This is a good place to get out of the car, stretch your legs and get a sense of the surrounding bush.
The humble display gives one an insight into Albasini's rough and ready life and the kind of creature comforts one would use in such a remote location as it was in the late 1800s.
There is shade, a tap and a couple of picnic tables and a dustbin. Ablutions are at the nearby Phabeni gate.
Information boards and displays recount the history of the site, as well as the life of ranger Chauke, who is buried there.
