South Africa - Pub in a tree trunk

(14 Mar 1997) T/I: 10:38:00 The Tzaneen area in the Transvaal in South Africa is famous for its rich fertile soil and old cycad forests, but one tourist attract ion seems a little out of place, the Baobab bar. In 1992 the van Heerden family began to transform the big tree into a pub. Built into the famous bulbous trunk of the boabab, the bar is named the Sunland Pub. Apart from the distinctive shape of the tree, this baobab is far from ordinary. It has been measured as the widest baobab in the world. The tree is 46.8 metres in width and was carbon-dated by a tree expert who believes it is at least 6000 years old.
