Photo outing Sunday 27 November 2011 |
||||||
| Arrangements have been made for us to visit TREEHAVEN, a water fowl | ||||||
| sanctuary near Vereeniging. Treehaven boasts 16 species of SA ducks, 116 | ||||||
| varieties of exotic ducks, geese etc, 4 species of Flamingo and 3 SA Crane | ||||||
| types on 30 acres on the banks of the Klip River. | ||||||
| A highlight of Treehaven is that one can get close to the birds so you don’t | ||||||
| need big lenses to get good pics. | ||||||
| We will be meeting at the gates at 05:15 for 05:30. Note: the gates will close at | ||||||
| 05:30 so be there on time to avoid disappointment. Entrance R50 p.p. | ||||||
| The gates open at 09:00 for the general public so you could invite your non- | ||||||
| photographer family to join you later (cost R30 p.p.). There is a playground and | ||||||
| animal farm for the kids. | ||||||
| The coffee shop opens at 09:00 for snacks and breakfast while you can buy | ||||||
| braai packs (3 x meats/boerevors, salads and pap) to cook on the provided | ||||||
| braais all under big shady trees. | ||||||
| Directions: Take the R59 towards Vereeniging (past Alberton and Meyerton) | ||||||
| leaving it at the REDAN off-ramp. Turn left at the end of the off-ramp ignoring | ||||||
| the 1st road on your left proceed towards the factories in the distance. Turn | ||||||
| left 950 meters from the off-ramp over the railway lines (be careful, it is a busy | ||||||
| 2 way line). Once over the railway turn left on the tar road. Travel another 950 | ||||||
| meters to the TREEHAVEN gates. | ||||||
| Treehaven is about 61 kms from Edenvale and at S 26deg 38’05.0″ | ||||||
| and E027deg 57’39.1″ | ||||||
