One of the Route 67 art pieces that gets the most discussion by visitors is artist Mxolisi Dolla Sapeta’s bird-like statue. The Fish-Bird looks like a UFO that has landed and visitors would be excused if they looked around for little green men running around. The Fish-Bird represents the fish in Algoa bay and the birds up on the Donkin Reserve and has returning back to the Donkin to take ownership of this transforming site.

Memorials in the Donkin Memorial Garden:
Visitors to the Donkin Reserve will notice a number of memorials located next to the lighthouse building in a memorial garden made up of spekboom and euphorbia. This section of the Donkin Reserve has been dedicated to the memory of municipal councilors who have died while serving the city. The garden was unveiled to remember 52 (at the time of unveiling) councilors from different political backgrounds who died while in office and who’s deaths range from illness to car accidents and even assassination.
