Astro Tours

carynkaleido — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 13:34:13 +0000

Astro Tours give you a stargazing adventure. Astronomy is a natural science that deals with the study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth’s atmosphere (such as the cosmic background radiation). It is concerned with the evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe. Astro tours endeavor to show you the stars for a horizon-widening experience, stargazing remains a weather-dependent activity and the phase of the Moon should also be taken into account when planning a tour over the night sky. For these reasons, booking for a starry excursion should be made long in advance and make provision for a few days to reduce the risk of a cloudy night. Prince Albert info@astrotours.co.za

Berg River

carynkaleido — Tue, 10 May 2022 18:22:20 +0000

The first Europeans to see the Berg River were on an expedition with bailiff Abraham Gabbema in 1657, having been sent by Jan Van Riebeek to trade with the local Khoi Khoi. He called it the Groot Berg River. The catchment was only developed during the time of Governor Simon van der Stel, who established the first European settlements at Paarl and in the Drakenstein Valley in 1687. Wellington, Franschhoek and Tulbagh were established later as the farmlands expanded. The river rises in the Drakenstein and the Franschhoek mountains. The Berg River was one of many habitats for Hippos. However, in the 1600s, hunters killed them for meat and leather. By the mid-1700s, Governor RykTulbagh introduced a fine for killing a hippo. Despite this, the numbers continued to decline. In 1829, only six Hippos were remaining. The last Hippo was shot in 1869 by Martin Melck when it attacked and killed one of his employees. During summer, water temperatures reach 30°C/86°F, while in the winter, they are at a lower 20°C/68°F. The river is popular with watersport enthusiasts. Waterskiing and canoeing are just two of these sports. Fish commonly caught in the river are : rainbow trout above Franschhoek. Above Paarl the river contains smallmouth bass and carp. The remainder of the river contains carp. Berg River Estuary The Berg River Estuary at the lower stretch of the River is one of four perennial estuaries on the west coast it is the third-largest salt marsh on the Cape Coast. The unique vegetation includes species such as waterblommetjie (Aponogeton distachyos), soutbos (Bassia diffusa), sareegras (Bolboschoenus maritimus), Fish found here include white steenbras (Lithognathus lithognathus) and white stumpnose (Rhabdosargus globiceps). The Berg River Estuary starts 69 km upstream of the river mouth in Velddrif. The estuary and floodplain extend 40 km inland, incorporating many habitats such as mudflats, reedbeds, sandy beaches, Strandveld, and Riverine channels. Bird spotting is particularly good in the mudflats and saltpans. The Western Cape is home to hundreds of bird species. For full identification and seasonal details, see this comprehensive Western Cape bird guide.

The dam was the first in South Africa to be operated with the guidelines of the World Commission on Dams. It was completed on time and within budget. Planning began in 1989. It was subjected to a rigorous public participation process and debate. Construction began in July 2004. The dam started storing water in July 2007.
