Whats up in Zululand ... False Bay

False Bay Park, iSimangaliso Wetlands Park South Africa, the part of the eco system where all the fossils are located. Evidance that this area was ocean right trough the Triasic Period until about 25000 years ago.

When for some reason sandbanks started forming and pearching birds populated the beach areas with trees, shrubs and grasslands. As the wind blew sand up against driftwood thus forming wind blown sand dunes.

For the trained eye the place is strewn with fossils of aquatic life. For the novice the dry thorny veldt of the Western Shores offers a wide variety of birds, mamal and insects seldom seen else where. This alone makes a visit to this eco system, one of five interlocking eco system, worth while.

The all elusive Wetlands Elephants is most often seen in this part of the 256000 hectare Game Reserve. This also close to Emdoneni Rehabilitation Center, Duma Zulu and Ilala Weavers em route to Soldwana Bay where some of the worlds best diving can be experienced.
