The first Braille wine bottle in the world |
More information and
full article...
For more information on Route 62.... |
|
At the beginning of 2005 the
Worcester wine region developed a new brand identity to give the town and its
people a sense of place, pride and a promise they are committed to stand behind.
This in turn led to the creation of the first Braille wine bottle in the world,
since this showcases Worcester as “the” resource centre for the Disabled, and,
most especially, the Blind. Consol Glass has contributed to the project by
producing the bottle mould at no extra cost to the consumer. The Braille message
- in the lower section of the bottle - states “100% Worcester, South Africa”.

THE LATEST "ULTIMATE THRILL" |
 |

Bored with bungy jumping? Jaded with jetboating? Does
skydiving put you to sleep?
A new exhibit at the Cango Wildlife Ranch, 5 hours east of Cape
Town, will provide interactive, heart-stopping crocodile tours.
Brave visitors will be lowered into a heated crocodile pool in a
specially designed cage and come face to face with 4-meter
crocodiles - the only animal that considers man as natural prey.
This is an absolute must for adrenalin junkies and anyone who
would like to see what a crocodile looks like under water!

SHARK TALE! |
|
|
Ground-breaking scientific research has shown that
Great White sharks migrate across the Indian Ocean between
southern Africa and Australia. One shark (dubbed "Nicole" after
actress Nicole Kidman) wearing a satellite tracking device made
the trip in 99 days, at an average speed of 3 miles per hour.
Relatively little is known about Great White sharks which play a
vital role in the marine ecosystem. Their numbers are under
threat worldwide due to over fishing and trophy hunting.

South Africa's Western Cape Province has been rated as

The region has benefited from its temperate Mediterranean
climate with long periods of sunshine, favorable exchange rate
and a landscape which can mimic almost any area in the world.
