Added 2023-03-16 08:43:06 +0000 UTC🕰️THROWBACK THURSDAY⏰ 2008 (15 years ago) PAARL MOUNTAIN My husband loved to take photos on Paarl Mountain. So much that I started dreading the words: "Let got to Paarl Mountain today". And the irony of it is that today, I miss the mountain. Here is a bit of history about the mountain. Centuries ago, the rocks on the mountain served as landmarks for nomadic Khoikhoi who knew them as Tortoise Mountain. Today we know it as Paarl mountain, (Pearl Mountain). The mountain is known for its three enormous granite rocks known as Paarl Rock, Bretagne and Gordon Rocks, and is the second-largest granite outcrop in the world (after Uluru in Australia). There are 3 dams on the mountain too – The Victoria, Nantes and Bethel dams. Paarl Mountain was declared a national monument in 1963, and in 1977 it was also declared a Nature Reserve. Don't worry about growing old... - worry about thinking old - it's a privilege denied to many - worry about acting old - you are just getting better Have a great day everyone. 🕰️⏰🕰️⏰🕰️⏰🕰️⏰🕰️
