Well, we went
back to Goegap and took the 4 kilometer mountain goat hike.
It was fabulous. At least 1000 foot elevation change. The
flora changed constantly as we climbed up. There is a water
source near the top and a continuing water fall down the mountain.
We found little crassulacea in the rocks and growing in moss
that the water promotes. Even found a fern growing out of
a rock.
The wild flowers are everywhere and include some exquisite
pelargoniums and other familiar succulent plants.
The return to Goegap was well worth the trip. We have been
absorbing unbelievable amounts of information.
Finally managed to get a picture of a Sun bird, below as well
as a Weaver bird, who we recognize from a National Geographic
special
