I haven't seen it in flood yet, but I have seen it bone dry (we could walk across the whole dam) and like it is in the pics I posted up.
Down below the dam wall there are hundreds of dassies, and the excrement lying there in sheer volume is unbelievable.
There is a lot of cacti at the bottom too, the type that jab you right through your plakkies. Once while hunting in Alicedale we came across little prickly thorn plant dingetjies that my dad called kaatjies. They had these hooks on the ends of the thorns that you had to burn to get out of your skin. Sorry for the hijack...
