"Geographically small, the Overberg has within its confines so rich a variety of activities, of natural resources and of cultural and historical places of interest that this book cannot hope to include them all. At best we hope so to rouse the reader's interest that he will go to see them for himself. Many of the photographs are scenes unnoticed by people who see them daily. Should this book persuade those who pass through the Overberg to travel a little slower, or better still, to stop by the wayside, they will discover the rich beauty of its colour, chiaroscuro and landscape. If they can find time to wander there they will find relics of our country's earliest history.".
