It’s sad to think that the Baakens River mouth was once a big lagoon where passing ships came to collect fresh water for their voyages yet today it’s a cement canal under the Settlers Freeway which flows into the PE Harbour. Some major revamping and restoration needed to give this river mouth any dignity again.
I greew up in a house on the Baakens Valley and saw that river every day but I never knew it was only 23km long!
