“De Vlugt lies on the banks of the Keurbooms River, approximately 55 km north of Knysnahalfway through the Prince Albert Pass. It was originally a construction camp for the 270 convicts who built the Pass in 1861. Later a small community settled around the camp. The small village is part of the George Local Municipality in the Western Cape.” - Chris Smit, 2024/06/01
