"Rolling Waves" by The Naked and the Famous


Before we sleep, can I hear you say
For the last time, for the last time like rolling waves?
Before we sleep, to just escape
Take a piece, take a piece or just walk away
Given the time, can we come alive?
We are swimming, we are swimming, no warning signs
Before we sleep, can you just say for the last time today?
Take a piece or just walk away like rolling waves
Like rolling waves
Like rolling waves

Golden Gate Highlands National Park is located in Free State, South Africa, near the Lesotho border. It covers an area of 340 km2 (130 sq mi). The park's most notable features are its golden, ochre, and orange-hued, deeply eroded sandstone cliffs and outcrops, especially the Brandwag rock. Another feature of the area is the numerous caves and shelters displaying San rock paintings. Wildlife featured at the park includes mongooses, eland, zebras, and over 100 bird species. It is the Free State's only national park and is more famous for the beauty of its landscape than for its wildlife. Numerous palaeontology finds have been made in the park, including dinosaur eggs and skeletons.

Geography and climate

"Golden Gate" refers to the sandstone cliffs found on either side of the valley at the Golden Gate dam. In 1875, a farmer called J.N.R. van Reenen and his wife stopped here as they travelled to their new farm in Vuurland. He named the location "Golden Gate" when he saw the last rays of the setting sun fall on the cliffs.

In 1963, 47.92 km2 (11,840 acres) was proclaimed as a national park, specifically to preserve the scenic beauty of the area. In 1981, the park was enlarged to 62.41 km2 (15,420 acres), and in 1988, it was enlarged to 116.33 km2 (28,750 acres). In 2004, the park was announced to be joining with the neighbouring QwaQwa National Park. The amalgamation of QwaQwa National Park was completed in 2007, increasing the park's area to 340 km2 (84,000 acres).

The park is 320 km (200 mi) from Johannesburg and is close to the villages of Clarens and Kestell, in the upper regions of the Little Caledon River. The park is situated in the Rooiberge of the eastern Free State, in the foothills of the Maluti Mountains. The Caledon River forms the southern boundary of the park, as well as the border between the Free State and Lesotho. The elevation ranges from a 1,800 m (5,900 ft) plateau in the north to heights of 2,700 m (8,900 ft) in the south. The highest peak in the park (and also in the Free State) is Ribbokkop at 2,829 m (9,281 ft) above sea level.

The park is located in the eastern highveld region of South Africa and experiences a dry, sunny climate from June to August. It has showers, hail, and thunderstorms between October and April. It has thick snowfalls in the winter. The park has a relatively high rainfall of 800 mm (31 in) per year.

Vegetation

The park is an area of rich highveld and montane grassland flora. It has more than 60 grass species and a large variety of bulbs and herbs. Each of these species has its own flowering time, meaning that veld flowers can be seen throughout the summer. The park also has Afromontane forests and high-altitude Austro-Afro alpine grassland, which is scarce in South Africa. The ouhout (Leucosidea sericea), an evergreen species, is the most common tree in the park. Ouhout is a favourite habitat of beetles and 117 species occur on these trees in the park. The Lombardi poplars and weeping willows in the park are introduced species, but are kept because of their cultural and historic connection with the eastern Free State. Other exotic species in the park, for example wattle and bluegum, are systematically eradicated.

Wildlife

Instead of reintroducing one of the "big five" into the park, the sungazer lizard and water mongoose were reintroduced. Twelve species of mice, 10 species of carnivores, and 10 antelope species have been recorded in the park.[ The grey rhebok and the mountain reedbuck were present when the park was established.

Geology and palaeontology

The geology of the park provides very visual "textbook" examples of Southern Africa's geological history. The sandstone formations in the park form the upper part of the Karoo Supergroup. These formations were deposited during a period of aeolian deposition towards the end of the Triassic Period. At the time of deposition, the climate of the area the park covers was becoming progressively drier until arid desert conditions set in, resulting in a land of dunes and sandy desert, with occasional scattered oases. The deposition of the sandstones ended when lava flowed out over the desert 190 million years ago.

The following sequence of geological formations is visible in the park (starting from the bottom): the Molteno Formation, Elliott Formation, Clarens Formation, and Drakensberg Formation. The yellow-brown Golden Gate and Brandwag cliffs are made up of the Clarens formation. The layers in this formation are 140 to 160 m (460 to 520 ft) thick. The Drakensberg Formation comprises the basaltic lava that flowed over the desert. It forms the mountain summits in the park. On Ribbokkop, it is 600 m (2,000 ft) thick.[6] The Elliot Formation is a red mudstone where many dinosaur fossils have been found.

The oldest dinosaur embryos ever discovered were found in the park in 1978. The eggs were from the Triassic Period (220 to 195 million years ago) and had fossilised foetal skeletons of Massospondylus, a prosauropod dinosaur. More examples of these eggs have since been found in the park. Other fossils found in the park include those of advanced cynodontia (canine toothed animals), small thecodontia (animals with teeth set firmly in the jaw), and bird-like and crocodile-like dinosaurs.

Accommodation

Accommodation in the park is available at Glen Reenen and Brandwag Rest camps. Caravan and campsites with all amenities are available at Glen Reenen camp. The hotel was formerly part of the Brandwag camp, but since its recent refurbishment, it is managed separately by SANParks as Golden Gate Hotel. The nearest town to Golden Gate Highlands National Park is Clarens (17 km to the west), but Phuthaditjhaba is also easily reached by a good tar road, driving through the access gate to the east of the park.

Notes

This park will be included in the Maloti-Drakensberg Transfrontier Conservation Area, Peace Park.

Der Golden-Gate-Highlands-Nationalpark (englisch Golden Gate Highlands National Park) liegt in Südafrika, im Südosten des Freistaates nahe der Grenze zu Lesotho, und zeichnet sich besonders durch seine malerischen Felslandschaften aus. Orange oder ocker gefärbte Sandsteinfelsen ragen über das bergige Grasland auf. Außerdem gibt es Felsmalereien der San.

Der nördliche Eingang zum Park liegt bei dem Künstlerdorf Clarens.

Fauna und Flora

Der Nationalpark ist mehr für die Schönheit seiner Landschaft als für seine Tierwelt bekannt. Dennoch gibt es eine Vielzahl an Tierarten:

Verschiedene Säugetiere wie Weißschwanzgnus, Elenantilopen, Blessböcke, Kronenducker, Rehantilopen, Bergriedböcke, Südliche Oribi, Südafrikanische Kuhantilopen, Springböcke und Steinböckchen.

Über 100 Vogelarten darunter

Greifvögel wie
Geier: Bartgeier, Kapgeier
Adler: Malaienadler, Kampfadler
Felsenbussard
Falken: Lannerfalke, Wanderfalke, Turmfalke

Größere Vogelarten wie Schwarzstorch, Kahlkopfibis, Kapsegler und Alpensegler

Typische Vogelarten für das Hochland, insb.:

Frankoline: Grauflügelfrankolin und Rotflügelfrankolin
Schmätzer: Bergsteinschmätzer, Rotbauchschmätzer und Fahlschulterschmätzer
Steinrötel
Orangebrust-Felsenspringer
Erdspecht
Zistensänger: Zwergzistensänger, Trauerzistensänger und Langschwanz-Zistensänger
Natalhonigvogel
Nektarvögel: Malachitnektarvogel, Doppelband-Nektarvogel und Kapnektarvogel
Basutogirlitz aus der Gattung der Girlitze

Die Vegetation kann in Grasland und Wälder eingeteilt werden. Dabei ist der Golden-Gate-Highlands-Nationalpark momentan der einzige Grasland-Nationalpark in Südafrika. Im Park finden sich mehr als 60 Grasarten.

Im afromontanen Wald wird die Vegetation von Leucosidea sericea dominiert. Die Bäume werden als auch Ouhut (deutsch: Altholz) bezeichnet, aufgrund der „alten“ Erscheinung der gedrehten Stämme ausgewachsener Bäume und da das Holz wie altes, verrottetes Holz brennt.

La rue de L'Escale est la seule de La Rochelle encore pavée avec des galets ronds provenant du lest des vaisseaux, utilisé pour les stabiliser quand leur chargement était insuffisant. Une partie provient d'Angleterre et de Scandinavie, pays d'où les navires venaient à vide pour se charger en sel et en vin. Une autre partie vient d'Amérique, en particulier des berges du Saint-Laurent lorsque les bateaux amenaient des peaux de castors, de loutres et de visons, trop légères pour permettre une navigation en toute sécurité. www.locatipic.fr/lieux/charente-maritime/la-rochelle/parc...

The rue de L'Escale is the only one in La Rochelle still paved with round pebbles from the ships' ballast, used to stabilize them when their loading was insufficient. Part comes from England and Scandinavia, where ships came from empty to load themselves with salt and wine. Another part comes from America, especially the banks of the St. Lawrence in Québec when boats brought beaver, otter and mink skins, too light to allow safe navigation.
