Whale Cove complex was literally built on Drip Kelders after which the area was named. The cave has several fresh water rock pools fed from a fresh water fountain. It was regarded as one of the natural wonders of the old Cape Colony and visited by Lady Ann Barnard during 1879. Not far from the Whale Cove complex is Klipgat Cave, one of the most important cultural assets in the Western Cape. The remains found in the cave date back to between 65 000 and 85 000 years, at a time when the ocean was approximately 5km away from the cave. Such early remains were only found at sites in South Africa and the Middle East. |
