Bathurst
As you draw up to the only four-way stop in the middle of the historic village of Bathurst you will wonder whether you have been transported back in time. This charming village with its historic buildings lining the streets was founded by the British colonial administration in 1820 to be the administrative centre of the Albany district. It was named for the Colonial Secretary of the time, Lord Bathurst. That plan did not last long. Two years later, the Governor of the Cape Colony, Lord Charles Somerset, issued a proclamation to suspend construction of the drostdy (magistracy) and in an instant, Grahamstown, some 42 kms inland, became the administrative centre. But...

Boknesstrand
To someone who is familiar with Afrikaans, the word 'Boknes' evokes the possibility that this little village is a place where little buck have made a nest, a den or even a colony. Not so. The word derives from the word 'Bocana' or 'Bokana' meaning 'father's river' in the language of the Khoikhoi and San Bushmen who were the original inhabitants of the Sunshine Coast. Evidence of their residence can be seen from middens scattered along the shoreline at various places. The village of Boknes lies at the mouth of the Boknes River in an area that was originally known as Jammerfontein. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boknesstrand. This is a secluded spot, right off the...
Cannon Rocks
Cannon Rocks is the ultimate getaway for those who want sea, sun, sand and very little else except peace and quiet. The village of 3,12 square kilometres virtually borders on the Woody Cape section at the eastern extremity of the Addo Elephant Park.

In the village itself, only 214 members of that species were found at the time of the 2011 census. Of those some 52% spoke English, 44% Afrikaans and just over 1% spoke Xhosa. These were the permanent residents. At other times of the year,...

Cradock
Permanent water diverted from the Orange River has given stability that many other rural areas lack in that the periodic devastating droughts are made less severe by the Lucerne and maize that is grown and that the farmers are able to produce winter grazing for their animals. The water has also enabled them to branch out into other farming enterprises such as dairy, ostrich and vegetable farming. Our prosperity is also due to the far sightedness of the Cradock residents and the various sporting councils in promoting sport on a major scale. Cradock plays host to the great Hansa Powerade Fish River Canoe Marathon with over 1 000 paddlers every year, as well as prestige...
