This natural monument is one of only 18 botanical places in the country. it is the best place to spot the rare Palmnut Vulture which nests near the top of the palm.
Dunns Assembly – The Zulu word emthunzini means “a place in the shade” but in the history of our beautiful small coastal town it refers specifically to the place under the milkwood trees near the Mlalazi River where the White Zulu chief, John Dunn, would meet with the tribal elders of the area.
