Icons of the Karoo – Farm gate

After posting “Quintessential Karoo” of the people walking on the dirt road in the Karoo the other day I started thinking.  What do people associate with the Karoo?  I came up with the following. Big skies, dusty roads, wind mills (windpompe), flowering aloes, sheep and Angora goats, Karoo koppies, inspiring silence, beautiful sunsets, farm gates, Karoo bush and historic towns and landmarks.  The Karoo has so much to offer, you just need to know where to look and what to look for.

    Ostriches are more Klein Karoo than proper Karoo

    Thanks for the locust info. I see them often but just didn't know what they were called.
