Woodbush State Forest (LP 229)

This is the largest indiginous forest in Limpopo and there are some very large trees. Leopards are still reputed to live there. The forest and the 'Dap Naude Dam' are reached via the scenic drive off the R71. The dam offers a picnic spot in this oak forest just below the dam wall. The 'O'Connor Memorial' also found in this forest, honours a former District Officer for the Woodbush Forest, Alexander O'Conner and this memorial is found at the end of an avenue of enormous gum trees which was planted by Alexander himself.
