Old Stories!

The last waterhole on this road is Olifantdrinkgat, or Elephant Waterhole, near Manzimahle.

I have seen elephant, lion, buffalo and white rhino here.

It is mostly disconnected of late, but there is a little "natural" dam against the access road which seems to hold water for a long time sometimes!

Branches cut away for view!

The windmill is safely "stored":

Here is the top view:


You can see that it is quite a way away from the main road, so a little rest spot.


Dam far left below, empty reservoir to the top right of that, and empty drinking trough top left.

Here is the empty trough in late winter 2018:

The windmill was donated quite a while after completion of the road. Too bad so sad for the donors...

If done a bit better, the view would have been better

Why so many animals if the through is empty It even looks as if some are drinking.

No idea...I put it up under the interesting behaviour thread!
