Panoramic View

On our way to our accommodations at the Swadizi Resort, we took the long route so we could see the axing landscapes around us. (We could have taken the short 30 minute drive, but took the 6 hour one instead.) Our first stop was Wonder View, which is by the edge of the mountain range, and allows you to see all the savannah/forests below. We could see for miles and miles around us. 
The second stop on our view tour was Bourkes Luck. It was named after Mr. Bourke, who searched for gold there for many years, and never found it. He later died, and gold was found not too far away. There were also naturally formed potholes by the water falls, from rocks swirling around / eroding the river bed. (I'll post more pictures from my camera.) 
We spent an hour here to explore the rocks along the river, and reflect on our journeys thus far. It was sunny and a little warmer, so some people decided to take a swim. (The water was way too cold for me.) 
Our last stop was to see the Blye Riiver Canyon. Our stop featured honeymoon rock, which is where two honeymooners stood to take a picture, and were both blow off by the wind. We also saw the the rocks that look like the huts of the native people in the area. (I'll have to look up the name) 

It was quite a long drive, but the views were completely worth it. We all got amazing photos, and luckily no one followed to legacy of honeymoon rock.
