Situated in the heart of one of the most popular northern suburbs of Sandton, Innesfree Farm provides tranquillity within the suburban Sandown infrastructure.
It has superb landscaping and is easily accessible. The farm includes two beautiful dams. The facility is often used for motor shows, arts and culture exhibitions and is an excellent spot for picnics and outdoor shows. Portable barbecues are recommended.
Come and enjoy the tranquil park and bring your own cache.
Be careful though as there is a informal settlement in the park (How? I don't know), so stealth and vigallince is required.
Granite is a common type of intrusive, felsic, igneous rock which is granular and phaneritic in texture.Phaneritic is a term usually used to refer to igneous rock grain size. It means that the size of matrix grains in the rock are large enough to be distinguished with the unaided eye as opposed to aphanitic (which is too small to see with the naked eye). Granite rock consists mainly of quartz, mica, and feldspar. Granites can be pink to grey in colour, depending on their chemistry and mineralogy. By definition, granite is an igneous rock with at least 20% quartz by volume.
Outcrops of granite tend to form tors and rounded massifs. Granite is nearly always massive, hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a construction stone. The average density of granite is between 2.65 and 2.75 g/cm3, its compressive strength usually lies above 200 MPa, and its viscosity near STP is 3-6 • 1019 Pa•s. Melting temperature is 1215 - 1260 °C.
The word "granite" comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock. Granitoid is a general, descriptive field term for light-colored, coarse-grained igneous rocks.
Granite is classified according to the QAPF diagram for coarse grained plutonic rocks and is named according to the percentage of quartz, alkali feldspar and plagioclase feldspar. True granite according to modern petrologic convention contains both plagioclase and alkali feldspars. When a granitoid is devoid or nearly devoid of plagioclase, the rock is referred to as alkali granite. When a granitoid contains less than 10% orthoclase, it is called tonalite
Granite is currently known only on Earth, where it forms a major part of continental crust. Granite has been intruded into the crust of the Earth during all geologic periods, although much of it is of Precambrian age. Granitic rock is widely distributed throughout the continental crust and is the most abundant basement rock that underlies the relatively thin sedimentary veneer of the continents.
Granite is an igneous rock and is formed from magma. Presence of water is required for the formation of granite from basalt.

How many Boulders are there?
How do you think they came on top of one another like they are?
In your own words how do you think Granite is formed. Name at least 2 things Granite is used for in our everyday lives
Stand on the highest point on the boulders. Which of the Sandton skyskrapers can you see?
And while you're up there take a selfie whith your GPS and the dam behind you. (optional)
