Mother, what's the story of that old farmhouse on the Khomas Hoghland road?? Seems enourmous for just a farmhouse, and the old drill rig on the Terrace Bay road??

No real story behind the oil rig was part of entrepeneurs search before the park was proclaimed

Lyk my ek en jy het dieselfde navorsing gedoen.

Nice photos, Mother. You either had great photo opportunities or a lot of skill and patience.

After seeing some of the stunning pictures in this thread I browsed through my collection and came across this "classic"
Not a very good picture - (mind you it was taken in 198?? with a Kodak Instamatic)

"Vinger van God" (as it was known) was a sandstone rock formation that succumbed to forces of nature late in 1988.
Located near Keetmanshoop, it was a popular tourist attraction of the time.
I am sure the Namibia dogs can tell us more about the history of the place
