Balloon Kop (Baldy) - Balla
Balla
This huge granite outcrop dominates the
scene at the village of Balla Balla, Rhodesia and was a landmark
for anyone driving from any direction. Officially known as
Balloon Kop it is more commonly called "Baldy". A
favourite spot for local youngsters, especially the students of
Saint Stephen's College, to go clambering and picnicking. I
recall seeing many a sunrise on New Year's day from the surveyors
beacon that stands atop the dome.
