Oryx (Gemsbok)

We have two herds of these. One is more than 50 and the other 40.

San Engravings at Ramah

There are many San engravings on rocks at Ramah. It is a wonderful study in art.

These two ostrich are particularly attractive!!

NEW Tractor

Because we are intending to develop a further 25 hectares in 2008 a NEW new tractor is required.

It was just delivered and we are still learning how to operate it.

It has a front end loader and a bull-dozer blade. Also, there is a new slasher on the back. Much wider than the old one. Saves diesel and time, not to mention less compaction.

Transport to Cape Town

To my horror I see that it is 2 months since an update. Here goes.

This year we decided not to use Sonop and his company to transport the nuts to Cape Town. Instead we bought a new trailer and did the job ourselves.

It has been time consuming and a lot of travelling. Each time it is 900km from the farm to Cape Town, and the same back.

We love taking "the scenic less travelled" route home. This picture is on the Rooiberg Pass between Van Wyk'sdorp and Oudtshoorn. Well worth the drive.
