South Africa

This cape is the most stately thing and the fairest cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth.  Sir Francis Drake, 1580

Cape Town was my home for the first 30 years of my life.  My family still live there and I get to visit on a regular basis.  While Australia is where I live now, Africa will always be in my blood and my love of its wildlife and natural beauty only grows stronger every time I experience it.
