Geocache Description:


When you reach the listed coordinates you are on the brink of an awesome view. Take a few steps (7m) North West and discover the treasure of Springbokvlakte.

After you completed the admin stand back and enjoy the view!

NB - The tree stamp in the cache is not a collectible and must stay in the geocache and may be used by letter-boxers to stamp their personal letter-boxing book.

The view to the Northeast provide a glimpse of the southern part of the Springbok Flats, named after large herds of springbok antelope which roamed here a 100 years ago. It forms part of the Bushveld Complex, consisting mainly of granite, granophyre and similar rocks.

The mountain range in the distance is the Waterberg, consisting of reddish-brown coloured sandstones between 1 800 and 1 600 million years old.

The 2 050 million year old Bushveld Complex is one of the largest magmatic formations in the world and is famous for its mineral wealth.
