This is the place where life all comes together in one colourful hodgepodge mixture of life. It all started in 1886 when a farmer named George Harrison discovered gold on his farm, Lanlaagte. Suddenly dreams of instant wealth brought hordes of gold diggers and fortune hunters to his door and before long, a tent town sprung up to accommodate this wide assortment of people. Initially it was each man to his own, but before long people realised that it was those with more money for digging tools and manpower that were achieving the most success with their mining ventures. So partnerships and coalitions were formed and before long more gold was discovered. This led to the formation of even larger mining corporations and soon, the temporary tents were being replaced by more permanent and luxurious structures. It was these structures which steadily became the city of Johannesburg. Other fantastic attractions include the esteemed University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg Art Gallery, the Johannesburg Planetarium, the Johannesburg Zoo and the Brixton Towers. In addition to this, there are a number of theatres, cinema complexes, shopping complexes and lakes and dams where you can participate in water sports or enjoy a picnic. Of course, no trip would be complete without a visit to Gold Reef City - a theme park with an interesting historical twist. This is an amazing area with plenty of potential for development as new holdings are constructed on a monthly basis. The inclusion of the 2010 World Cup ensures that even more excitement is soon to come to your chosen piece of Auckland Park property.
