As Lis has mentioned those Louries just don't sit still
More places could take a tip from them around the dog sign and implement!

And loerie and malachite!

Looks very nice there...one may fall asleep every now and then.

For peace and relaxation this is an ideal place to get away from the rat race
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

Glad you also appreciate the sign
Mel no big 5 or red sands but ideal place to recharge ones batteries

love too the crochet's Tortoise

like Yellow-billed Duck and those sleeping on the grass

got also a Lourie... but no proof for me , so well done to yours

Crochet Tortoise
I think people must have thought I was moving from tree to tree trying to get a photo of the Lourie

Took a drive to the lookout point



Ebb & Flow down below



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



Then we were off to see the big tree
Nice mountain scenery on route there



Then we arrived at our destination



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



The ferns are just beautiful



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







Even with this notification, which did not help as the notice had been mutilated





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



Part of the forest



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



In various colors and shapes





Tried to find the Malachite Kingfisher on our return, but it did not happen but loved the reflection in the water

Lovely evening light on the camp

Beautiful scenery shots

I love all the different fungus

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!!

Very good, AN!

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?

My favourite is the island!

me too.... can we buy it

we could make biiiigggg tea's parties there

and the reflection
love the big trees
