the Karoo landscape around the village...

"Notably, next to the museum, is a large, grassy field which was once a cricket pitch. The first international game of cricket played in South Africa was at Matjiesfontein on this very field, with Lord Hawke's team, where George Alfred Lohmann was the bowler." ( quote from the matjiesfontein website )
