Karroo

Karroo is the name of a barren tract of tableland in South Africa with a clay soil, which, however, bursts into grassy verdure and blossom after rain. The Great Karroo, which is 850 miles long and about 80 miles broad, is 3000 ft. above the sea-level, while the Little Karroo is 1000 ft. lower. Large flocks of sheep are pastured on them, and the value of the land has immensely increased within late years.
