Notes

The white house in the centre of this artwork was known as Lochner House, after Helena 'Mollie' Lochner, the well-known writer of illustrated Afrikaans children's books who lived there from the 1940s. The large cross visible to the right of the house on the rocky promontory was erected in memory of Heather Bam, who lived in the house before Mollie, and who drowned off the point in 1911. The house became derelict and was demolished in 2004.
