The city was founded in 1895 by three brothers of the Nel family who grazed their cattle around the site in the winter months.
During the Boer War, Nelspruit served briefly as the seat of government for the South African Republic, an independent Boer republic (not to be confused with the Republic of South Africa).

The sanctuary has its own mysterious ruin, which incorporates a walk-behind waterfall.
Hier het ons die staptog aangepak en na die waterval gestap. Was ‘n hengse stap, oor 3 waterstrome, geval en gelukkig net skrape opgedoen, maar dit was n heerlike staptog.
De Vlug Die besluit om te gaan kyk hoe lyk dit by Uniondale, was n heerlike trippie gewees met baie slegte grondpad, die mooiste tonele met mis op die berge en verby die pragtige dorpie "De Vlug". Daar is n heelwat eetplekkies, oornag plekkies en meer om te sien.
Dit is ongelooflik mooi om daar bo te staan en die natuurwonder te aanskou.
Separated by around 300 metres of water, The Knysna Heads are the headlands of two peninsulas that enclose and form the Knysna River Estuary. Formed over geological time beginning as far back as the break-up of the supercontinent, Gondwana, during the Jurassic, 180 million years ago. the Knysna Heads can be described as the rocky headlands at the western and eastern ends of the two peninsulas that embrace and define the Knysna basin. They also frame the Knysna Estuary’s only entrance to the sea.
Eers besoek ons die Motor Museum, betaal R60, en kry of koffie of tee of melkskommel op die huis en ry toe so n bietjie rond in die dorp. Mooi, skoon en pragtige Knysna. Pragtige muursketse orals te sien.

I visited Pilgrim's Rest on Sunday. It was judged to be best town in Mpumalanga in the Kyknet Kwêla competition. It is really looking lovely again, houses painted, streets clean. Picnic area near bridge with neat lawn. I even saw a tourist bus. The lads who clean one's car without permission are a nuisance. Road going down from grasskop is ok, but road to Chrystal Springs Resort has some potholes when going up.
