to the Haga-Haga Library will be very informative.<br />
HAMBURG<br />
This village, originally called Tooi, was founded in 1857 to settle veterans of<br />
Britain’s disbanded German Legion. The name of this small seaside town on<br />
the Sunshine Coast was later changed to that of the German city Hamburg. Its<br />
position next to the ocean and on the banks of the Keiskamma River has<br />
earned it a reputation as a popular adventure tourism destination, especially<br />
for water sports.<br />
ADVENTURE AND SPORT<br />
Canoeing: The Keiskamma River offers excellent angling and other water-<br />
sport opportunities, including canoeing.<br />
Cruises: Various river- and deep-sea cruises are conducted, if the weather<br />
permits.<br />
Fishing and surfing: Some of the best coastal-fishing and surfing opportunities<br />
exist along the miles of beautiful beaches.<br />
Hamburg Nature Trail: The trail offers beautiful views of the bluegum<br />
plantation, the Umtata River Mouth and the coastline. Sunset barbecues lend<br />
a special flavour to the occasion and should be arranged in advance.<br />
