Little Karoo
The Little Karoo, also known as the Klein Karoo, is a region in the south of the Western Cape province where ostrich farming was formerly practiced on a large scale. The area extends more or less from the Langeberg to the Swartberg.[1] The Langeberg and the Outeniqua Mountains form the southern border of the area, the Swartberg the northern border.[2] The main town is Oudtshoorn.[3] Other towns/settlements in the area include:Ladismith, Calitzdorp, De Rust, as well as well-known mission stations such as Zoar, Amaliënstein, Barrydale and Dysselsdorp. Uniondale is the easternmost point of the area.[4]
The area is mainly drained by the Gourits River, via its tributary the Olifants River.[5] There are five island mountains in the region:Anysberg, Warmwaterberg, Touwsberg, Rooiberg, Gamkaberg, Kammanassieberg and Antoniesberg.[6]
