Where the north bank is roughly cut and loud with the crashing of water flowing into the reservoir, the south bank is calmer, quiet as the river continues on its course south-southwest. Though calmer, the water itself is no less dangerous, as large predators frequent just below the surface. Herd beasts come here when the waterhole is filled to capacity, and many tracks of all shapes and sizes indent in the mud and are slowly eroded by the gentle ebb and flow of the calmer water.
