EXPLORING FRONTIER COUNTRY and other areas.

You sure have digged up some hidden jewels and found some great cottages for stop overs Lovely crowned herons.

Sanparks should have asked Maj. C.J. Selwyn and Andrew Geddes Bain for advice before building the bridge on the Crocodile River

Thank you for the daily reports

We started today by taking a walk through Hogsback Arboretum.



Cape White Eye.



The lower level of The 39 Steps waterfall.



The main falls of The 39 Steps waterfall.



There are a group of seven Californian Redwoods in the Arboretum.

The autumn colours were stunning.



We then moved on to another trail to the Swallow Tail Falls. A view from the pathway.



The pathway to the falls.



Hogsback had had some heavy rain two days before we arrived so all the little streams were flowing.







Eventually arrived at Swallow Tail Falls.

21 APRIL 2015 - DAY 6 - WALKS, WATERFALLS AND GARDENS OF HOGSBACK - PART 3/3


On the way back to the cottage the last of the waterfalls.



Back at the cottage we saw this African Olive-Pigeon came for a drink.



While sitting on our stoep in the late afternoon we fortunate to see the local gang of Samango Monkeys come down to taste the fruit in the garden.









And finally, exhausted after a long walk and the evening chill creeping in, what better place to be than a snooze in front of a warm log fire.



End od Day 6.

Slowly catching up, stf! This is like pudding, so one bite at a time!

Love your loco comment!

Also see you remember roadside picnic spot eating from days gone by...here it is simply too dirty/dangerous!

Great living in "Noah's Ark" there!
