Down The Swartberg Pass - a photo on Flickriver

            crossing the Swartberg Mountains means to traverse from the "Kleine Karoo" to the "Groot Karoo" ...
Swartberg pass was built between 1881 and 1888 by Thomas Bain, son of the famous Andrew Geddes Bain who built Bain's Kloof Pass and many more. It followed their earlier construction of another pass in 1858, the Meiringspoort, through the same mountains but further east.[1]

It was built using convict labour, and opened on 10 January 1888. The dry-stone retaining walls, supporting some of its hairpin bends, are still in place and almost 120 years old. Thx to Wikipedia
