Most people living in Port Elizabeth has driven along the N2 past the Sundays River and Colchester at some stage in their lives and would have seen the sand dunes beyond the river. But I want to bet that very few actually realise how big the dune fields out at Colchester really is. Its huge, as you can see from the pic I snapped on the return flight from Indaba in Durban the other day. The Colchester Dunefields are just the first section of the much bigger and more impressive Alexandria Dunefields which has been included in the Greater Addo Elephant National Park. Oh and if you were wondering that is my Batman t-shirt reflecting in the window :-)
Impressive !! I hope it's left as nature intended.
