Bourke's+Luck+Potholes

Bourke’s Luck Potholes are located in Mpumalanga (Eastern Transvaal) and are a series of geological formations formed by centuries of water flow. The natural attraction is made up of all interlacing pools. They start to occur where the Treur river meets the Blyde River and over time, the water and sand rock wears the potholes into the earth naturally. As more time passes, some of the potholes may join to become one bigger one instead of a few smaller ones. Visitors are able to see it from surrounding bridges, and vantage points on tours. These natural sculptures are named after Tom Bourke, who hoped to find gold at the potholes. He had no success while many others had great success in the area.
