Interesting discovery in the Knysna Forest
In a piece of secluded, almost inaccessible yellowwood forest a few kilometres outside of Knysna, on the way to Plettenberg Bay, two residents of the area have come across an amazing find. Nicolaas Phillips, one of the intrepid explorers, said he came across the find years ago, when he was in Grade 9 or 10 after moving to Knysna from Jonkersberg near George. “I grew up in nature and loved exploring. When we first moved here I came into this forest and found what you see here,” he told the Knysna-Plett Herald. At the time Phillips found the "treasure" almost 20 years ago, he was not sure who to tell about it and didn’t know if he would be in trouble if he was caught there or attract unwanted attention to the area, so he waited for the "right person" to tell the story.
