  • Bourkes Luck Potholes - Named after a miner called Tom Bourke, who found a bit of Gold here, but never got rich as the Gold seam was located a short distance to the south of his claim. The potholes and rock formations are carved from the rock by water action at the confluence of the Blyde and Treue rivers. You may also see some local birds.
