Groot Brak Rivier

Groot Brak Rivier is a settlement in Eden District Municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa. This is a historic village built around the Great Brak River Lagoon, about 27 km east of Mossel Bay’s CBD.

He arrived in Great Brak River to work for the Central Road Board in 1850.
