Garies Northern Cape Namakwa Information

Garies: A small Namaqualand village on the banks of a dry stream in arid country. The Kamiesberg Mountain Range lies to the east, with the highest peaks at about 1 800m. Several other small places with interesting names are found in the area: Platbakkies, Kharkhams, Spoegrivier, Nariep, Soutfontein, Wallekraal, Hondeklip Bay, Kamieskroon, Leliefontein, Bitterfontein. Outside town, there are a number of gigantic boulders on which the names of early travellers are inscribed. Coats of arms chiselled into the rocks are a legacy of British soldiers who established a fort here in 1901.
