Barberton: A Historic Town in South Africa

Some scenes from picturesque town and environs of Barberton in South Africa's Mpumalanga province. This region is home to some of Earth's oldest rocks, and these form the basis of the Barberton Makhonjwa Geotrail, a self-guided tour of the Barberton Greenstone Belt. In 2018, UNESCO designed the area as a World Heritage site because it "represents the best-preserved succession of volcanic and sedimentary rock dating back 3.6 to 3.25 billion years and forms a diverse repository of information on surface conditions, meteorite impacts, volcanism, continent-building processes and the environment of early life."
My thanks to Lionel Meyer, proprietor of Bubez Guesthouse, for taking me off the beaten track to show me some of the waterfalls and spectacular landscapes in the hills around Barberton. Thanks too to the members of the geological team working at the Barberton Museum for showing me around their research facility and explaining their work.

Rereading “The Power of One,” by Bruce Courtenay, brought me here. Looks like a pleasant place.
