Go 2 Knysna

Go 2 Knysna Knysna is a leisure holiday destination with so much to choose from, whether it is the beach, the forest, the lakes, estuaries or the mountains.

In the heart of the Garden Route lies the town of Knysna, rich in natural beauty, culture and history from days gone by. When visiting Knysna you will most likely at first glance notice the the entrance of the estuary known as "the Heads"; that is the portal to the sea where many a seafarer has entered for shelter, and more so the wood trade. Knysna is more known for its vast forest, and infamous

wood trade. These beautiful forest are well worth a visit and meandering through the back roads is an absolute joy when discovering its hidden treasures. Knysna has a variety of rivers, passes, farm land and a spectacular mountain range, the Outeniquas. Get lost in the beauty of Knysna.... it is natural.

Directly below the Eastern window of the little St. George's Anglican Church on the Knysna Main Road, rests a remarkable man & pioneer of early economic development of the old Knysna Port town on the banks of the Knysna Lagoon. It is significant that he was buried there in that exact position. I encourage everyone who read this, "his story," to visit the grave of the great man. In his Eulogy he is heralded as the "Father of Knysna". He passed away at the age of 73. He was a master mariner with business acumen to boot. He therefor held all the cards to direct a shipping enterprise from the natural harbour which the deep lagoon offered. Thomas outlived the eldest son's of George Rex & naturally settled into the leadership role of the rapidly growing settlement. The book tells the story of extremely exciting & dangerous events as well as a beautiful romance as Thomas worked his way to the top of Knysna society. This story book of Thomas Horn is light, easy, quick & a fun way to learn about Knysna's history. The idea is to submerge yourself in that very distant past. The two Hamlets of Newhaven, with a population of approximately 700 people & Melville towards the South West of the lagoon had a population in excess of 1200 people by the late 1830's & took off in a big way from 1847, When our Captain Thomas Horn started moving matters forward! Its a great story for every Knysnarian to read. We all love our town & this story gives you further satisfaction of insight in the distant past when it all started and slowly grew to become a mega town in the 21st century with now nearly 80 000 inhabitants. In 1882 the two hamlets of Newhaven & Melville had encroached on each other & hence it was proclaimed to be one town by the name of Knysna. Captain Thomas Horn was the first Mayor of Knysna. He was democratically elected. You will never see or feel Knysna the same way after this short read. The idea is to indulge in the mesmerising experience of picturing the place as
