      Thanks Lindy! Bourke’s Luck is easily accessible and many tour companies include it in their itineraries; when you make it to South Africa, be sure to pay a visit 😉

    Ek like dit baie as jy fotos wys van ons wêreld hier naby. Pragtige fotos. Alhoewel ons miskien mekaar nie sien nie, kan ons tenminste mekaar se besoekplekke saam geniet.

      Welcome here, Justine! There’s a well-laid out network of footpaths and bridges connecting the various viewpoints, from where one can look down into the gorge.

    Pragtig!As student het ons jare gelede daar gekamp.Toe was dit nog woes en daar was net twee “longdrops”.Ons het sommer so onder die sterre geslaap ,waar al die geboue vandag staan.Die plek was heeltemal ongerep.

        Toe was daar geen toerbusse of toeriste nie…lekker ou dae,ongerep.Dis dieselfde by Sossusvlei in Namibie.Die eerste keer wat ons daar was,was dit wonderlik stil.Twee kere daarna…mense,mense,mense!

      The water’s extremely rough through the potholes Capt Jill, and the rocks very, very sharply edged; I certainly wouldn’t encourage anyone to try and navigate the rapids at this point of the river course 😉

    The erosion patterns and textures reminds of similar patterns we observed on a naturalist expedition in the San Juan Islands… I will look for the photos and do a second “Depth” posting later in the week for you to compare. Love this ❤
