Bokbaai has a pre-colonial as well as a recorded history of peaceful seclusion as rare asymmetrical gabled house, world renowned wildflowers, the cold Atlantic Sea, kilometres of rock shores, sandy beaches and dunes, a spectacular view of Table Mountain and air like champagne. The farm has legends, myths, stories of ships and histories political, social and personal, like that of the KuÌbe family who were overseers of the Government lime works and the convicts some of whom were slaves, who laboured there in chains, and the Duckitt family as its custodians and their faithful caretakers, Jan and Susie Bokbaai. There are graves from the previous four centuries and Dutch and British shipwrecks from those days. Famous Cape edifices that are now national and provincial monuments were built between 1811 and 1826 with Bokbaai's lime. The farm, already a provincial heritage site, has under the Mapula Trust's custodianship been registered as a provincial nature reserve and will be used as an environmental education centre. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-201) and index. 610 20 $a Bokbaai (Cape Town, South Africa) 650 0 $a Farms $z Cape Town. $z Cape Town. 650 0 $a Historic buildings $z Cape Town $z Cape Town $x History. 650 0 $a Limestone mines and mining $z Cape Town $z Cape Town $x History. 650 7 $a Limestone mines and mining. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739883 650 7 $a Historic buildings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957723 650 7 $a Farms. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921422 651 0 $a Cape Town (South Africa) $x History. 651 7 $a South Africa $z Cape Town. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204844 651 7 $a South Africa $z Western Cape. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01272827 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031514.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=071945169F4311EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
