Hallo and welcome to MyGraskopNews

Welcome to MyGraskopNews the blog about Graskop, its people and the surroundings. It's summer time which means lots of rain for Graskop. Pierre Jacobs from Blyde Lodge in Graskop reported almost 400 mm rain for January. While this entails a lot of slip and sliding in the mud for residents, it also means that all the waterfalls which were but a mere trickle in the dry season are now joyously overflowing everywhere. This picture was taken at the Gorge just outside Graskop next to the Big Swing were visitors with courage swing and slide from one side to the other. Far too adventurous for my liking but still a huge tourist attraction.
