Bourke’s Luck Potholes

Bourke’s Luck Potholes are one of the most popular features along the Route and was my own personal favorite, even in spite of the unfortunate name. The stunning geological phenomenon sits at the confluence of two rivers, the Treur and Blyde. Physics and geology that I don’t really understand as a result of the rivers and underwater obstacles have, over time, created giant potholes in the landscapes. The eroded rocks are beautiful, smooth and look almost designed. I could have stood there for hours watching the water rush over them in a process that has undoubtedly been ongoing for a very long time.
