There it is, a tractor museum, a canon from the Napoleonic wars and a wine farm all on Hooggelegen. Just let me add this last item. When I was there Ryk de Wit was trying to organise a stipr of land some 12 miles long as a nature ramble and conservation area but was having difficulty convincing his neighbours that they should all participate. His idea was that it would not just be a ramble but a corridor along which small mammals could travel and maintain the health of the gene pool. As well as this and the views from the top of the mountain there are more species of flora in the Western Cape than in the whole of the UK.
On the top of the rocks in front of the trees, one of the dassies is sitting. Unfortunately, the image won't magnify to show it properly.
