Bourke’s Luck Potholes trip

A moon-like geological feature consisting of large, cylinder shaped potholes in the rocky bed

of the Blyde River. Located at the start of Blyde River Canyon, about 35km's north of Graskop, these natural rock formations have been created by decades of erosion. As the Treur River tumbles into the Blyde River the waters form whirlpools carrying tiny sand and rock particles that have corroded the bedrock over the ages. These amazing potholes, also called giant's kettles, are one of the top highlights on the Panorama Route and have been featured in Frommer's 500 Places to Take you Kids Before They Grow Up. Wonder View The highest viewpoint along the Panorama Route on the edge of the Drakensberg Escarpment, Wonder View stands at 1730 metres above sea level. The panoramic vistas at Wonder View are arguably even more gobsmacking than those at the well-known God's Window, about 2km's south of Wonder View. Located along the R534 road, Wonder View looks out over the hills and platues of the lowveld stretching on for what seems like an eternity. When visibility is good on cloudless days one can admire an astounding 360-degree view from the aptly named Wonder View lookout point.
