Lundi River in Flood
By Nick Baalbergen
You have previously included the 1974 photo as a part of the story
on 'strip roads'.
I thought it might be of interest to compare similar photos, 46
years apart. The 1928 photo was apparently taken shortly after the
low level bridge was completed.

Thanks Nick for sharing your photographs and memories with ORAFs.
Lundi River, river in southeastern
Zimbabwe rising at Gweru in the Highveld and flowing southeast to
Hippo Valley at the confluence with the Shashe River in the
Middleveld. It continues across the Lowveld and joins the Sabi River
near the Chivirigo (Chivirira) Falls at the Mozambique border, after
a course of 260 miles (418 km), to form the Save River. Among the
Lundi’s great network of tributaries are the Ingezi, Tokwe, Mtilkwe,
and Chiredzi rivers. In its upper reaches the river is arrested by
Gwenora Dam, and its lower section is incorporated into the Sabi-Limpopo
Irrigation Project.
