Additional information
This cover was postmarked on 30 June 1995 at Augrabies and catalogued as SAPO 6.24. It formed part of a series promoting South Africa's provincial tourism and its cachet featured the aloe dichotoma or quiver tree, a plant closely tied to the arid landscapes of the Northern Cape. The Augrabies postmark location nodded to Augrabies Falls, home to one of the largest waterfalls in Africa and a key draw for visitors to the province.
