The Sutherland area is famous for its Karoo lamb produced by the local farmers, it can be purchased at the local butchery in the Main road.  Southern African Large Telescope (SALT)  was erected outside the town of Sutherland, some 370km from Cape Town, is because of its ideal location for stargazing.  Its remoteness, elevation (2 000m above sea level), the cold and the absence of light pollution, ensure clear, cloudless skies essential for research. Tourists who visit SALT during the day can book a guided tour of the interpretive visitor centre and a selection of the research telescopes, including SALT, located on an elevated plateau overlooking a vast expanse of the Karoo.  And while the SALT facility is closed to the public at night, visitors can experience the thrill of astronomy by booking a stargazing session at the visitor centre where two dedicated visitor telescopes, a 16″ Meade and 14″ Celestron, are located.  Nobody is allowed to drive up to the dome facilities on the plateau at night as astronomy research is light sensitive and that's when local and international scientists are at work.
