This image taken from the top of the kopje on the left (as the British forces advanced) shows the path between the two hills.

Mike, this is the spread of the 'Thornveld' (mainly Acacia karoo) into the grasslands of the Natal midlands. This is mainly (or entirely?) due to human interference with the ecosystems from the 1850s onwards.
