Out of Bounds!

[Michael Alexander]

Remember this map, telling you where and where not you could play/go?

Oops, I think I stepped over the lines a few times!!!! :emot172:

[Michael Alexander]

So we have to ask, was the Quarries out of bounds?

Robin and I decided the one time to shortcut to the beach over the salt pan that  was behind the  aerodrome .. we got there .. but once or twice had scary moments .. apart from the fences .. Verboten .. we sunk up to waist  height in the mud .. Nice stable looking crust  and you stand on it and crack .. down you go ...  i remember testing the boundaries  many times  ,,,if   it  said   dont .. then  you  did the opposite ..   the  Crystal quarry at the entrance to town .. dont  know .. we just went  there  anyhow ..

Does anyone have any memories of sinking sand in Oranjemund?  Memory a bit vague but remember that it was near to the river mouth.  Perhaps someone else can comment?

Mike, what year was this map from? Seem to recall at one stage in the 70's that the river mouth was OOB for a while.

[Michael Alexander]

The map was taken form the back of a residents guide form the 80's..... there are three versions of this map from 3 different books..... they all differ...

if you were not oob,it was not called fun,yes mike the quarry was out of bounds,it was where the souties fought the boers,and did we carrots for it when we were all caught,good old days

[DUNJA WRBKA]

@ Tamara, yes now that you mentioned it.  Thats where I remember it too be as well.  Think down on your way from the Log Cabin towards the River Mouth is where I remember somemore.  Perhaps the brain is a little fuzzy after so many years so I could also be wrong...
