Interactive Map of Free State
Free State
The plains of South Africa's interior plateau between the Vaal
and Orange Rivers form the Free State Province.
This tranquil land of the ever-present windmill is the geographic and
agricultural centre of South Africa. Of all the provinces, this one presents
the classic scene of the sunny veld, the high-lying, spacious grass-covered
prairie land with deep-blue African skies, majestic cloud formations
in summer and a skyline broken by the occasional flat-topped koppie (hill-like
mountain).
The Free State is fast becoming a tourist
destination in its own right. Famous for its warm South African hospitality,
`boerekos’ (traditional
Afrikaner farm-style cuisine) and decidedly slower-paced lifestyle, this
province has become a mecca for holiday-makers intent on exploring small-town
South Africa.
Known, locally, as South Africa's 'bread basket', the Free State is
cultivated by more than 30 000 farms to produce over 70% of South Africa's
grain consumption. It is also home to the most productive gold and diamond
mines in the world.
