Geocache Description:


The cache is situated inside the Wonderboom Nature Reserve.

Wonderboompoort during 1902

In the Magalies Mountains Wonderboompoort is one of six passages between the North and South. This was the main passage during the Voortrekker period and was also used by Louis Trichardt (symbolic Ossewa trek) on 12 December 1938 for the laying of the corner stone of the Voorterkker Monument. A blockhouse inside the passage was used to guard Pretoria before the four Fortresses was build.

The blockhouse during 1902

For the 50 year anniversary of Pretoria it was decided to build a waterfall as a permanent reminder of the festivities.

Please keep to the designated trails. The cache is located just off the trail and be on the lookout for muggles.
