A Journey through Johannesburg’s Parks, Cemeteries, and Zoo by Lucille Davie

The city’s parks tell the story of how Johannesburg came about – an iron furnace on Melville Koppies attests to the city’s early Tswana residents; the Boer farmhouses in Bez Valley and Klipriviersberg were built long before the city itself; the disused shafts in the George Harrison Park tell of the first discovery of payable gold; The Wilds are filled with Johannesburg’s indigenous plants and shrubs.
