GENERAL INFORMATION ON QUEENSTOWN

? ¢ QUEENSTOWN

Coordinates: 31°54'S 26°53'E

Queenstown is a town in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. It lies on the Komani River,
which forms part of the Great Kei system of rivers. Queenstown has a refreshing
climate and plentiful water supply from the surrounding rugged mountains. The water is
collected in the Bonkolo Dam (the name has been changed from Bongolo Dam
recently), set in the hills. This dam is used extensively for recreation and water sports.
Close to Queenstown is a nature reserve (Lawrence de Lange Nature Reserve) with
numerous antelope, white rhinoceros and spectacular flowering plants, together with
panoramic views from the mountain summit. Queenstown has rich sandstone layers
deposited by meandering rivers on the flood plain. Queenstown's layout reflects its
original objective as a defensive stronghold for the frontier area and has a most
unusual design. There is a central hexagonal area where canon or rifle fire could be
directed down six thoroughfares radiating from the centre.
