Involved are animals, birds, reptiles and insects, some dangerous, some endearing. Touched on are the 1820 settlers from england, the strandlopers and tribes from the ciskei and transkei. Travelling through villages and cities, forests and up rivers they fish, sew, cook and work.they laugh and cry. At times life is langerous, at others frenetic. They live in cottages, caravans and delapidated old houses, even sometimes in fear. Above all they abandon themselves to all that is beautiful and on offer in this intriguing kaleidascope of patterns and colors which constitute south africa. Itwould be difficult to surpass. When finances were good they would set forth on a celebrateory trip over scarey mountain passes to get to the other side where new experiences beckoned. with a backdrop of distant mountains, forests, veld, lakes and the ocean, the scene is set for their travels in this bewitching land.
