Day 5 - 5th June 2007

The team at the old Grader..

An old boat left behind by the diamond community

that once used it for fishing

The vehichles are constantly challenged by steep dunes..

The magnificent sun rays on the sea and over the desert

The dune camp site at sunrise

More dunes......Not for the faint hearted!

The beautiful Gemsbok..
The Golden Highway
An audience to watch the next attempt..
The old Grader left behind

6th day scenery

Andre taking the dune's on..
The Prado planning it's route

The old diamond fields

Spectacular..

The long and winding road?

The rusty ship's canon..
So far away from the sea..
The shipwreck covered by the sand..
Sunrise...

Bulle Bo..
The morning dunes stretching ahead..
The view over Sandwich Bay
The winds across the dune

Day 6 - 6th June 2007

The group

Approaching the end

Sunset on the dunes..

Still a way to go...

All in a row along the beach for almost the last time..

Armand
Traveling between the dunes and the sea
The last of the "gaatjie's"
The skull, bones and wet suit that left us

all with a strange sense that somewhere

there is a family without closure...

Should we have taken a tooth for forensics?

Friends watching Bushman TV

The Final Day - 7th June 2007

The final dunes...

The last time together on the beach

Heading towards the final strech
The last night campsite
One of the many long dune climbs
Basil's final trick on the beach..
