Hike along Jubilee Creek (in search of gold)

This hike, near to Knysna (see previous post), followed Jubilee Creek to several gold mines that were excavated during a brief gold rush in the 1880’s. Although the gold lasted for less than a decade, we hoped that we’d find the world’s largest nugget in the creek somewhere along our walk. That didn’t happen. But the walk was nice!
