Potholes - South Africa
| The curious quirks of water in motion have left extraordinary potholes in the rocks of the Blyde River. These are known as 'Bourke's Luck' Potholes after the owner of a once profitable gold mine nearby, Tom Bourke. |
|
| The Blyde River (meaning 'joy') was named by the wives of Voortrekkers who had assumed their travelling menfolk were dead when they did not return from an expedition - only to joyously meet them on the banks of this river. |
|
| The Blyde flows through some spectacular gorges along its course to meet with the Blyde Dam in its Canyon, at the nature reserve. |
