The Augrabies Falls National Park covers an area of 820 km2 (320 sq mi) and stretches along the Orange River. The area is very arid. The waterfall is about 60 m (200 ft) high and is awe-inspiring when the river is in flood. The gorge below the falls averages about 240 m (790 ft) deep and runs for 18 km (11 mi). The gorge provides an impressive example of erosion into a granitic basement. The park was established in 1966.
