The astronomical observatory at Sutherland is one of my favourite places. There is a mystique about it, a blend of high-tech, state-of-the art instruments and the austere open spaces of the Karoo landscape. Over the past thirty years I have taken hundreds of high school students to experience the unique milieu of Sutherland observatory.
