We continued down the coast to a beautiful town of Knysna. Well that is until it suffered major damage in June when bushfires destroyed many homes and the wildflower gardens that we were to visit.
The damage was extensive but we still enjoyed a cruise on the waterway.
Many homes were destroyed. It must have been similar to the fires on the Great Ocean Road.
The coastal scenery was stunning.
We boarded our "Paddle wheeler" for a short trip on the waterway and to have lunch. We didn't travel very far!
The entrance is so dangerous that it is no longer used for shipping. It was once the centre for the export of native timbers. The hillside on the right is the burnt remains of the World Heritage listed wildflower gardens.
The town was very touristic but we did have a walk through the shops. Some returned in the night to enjoy the specialty seafood restaurants.
