About ET Rock Formation
The ET Rock Formation is a well-known local landmark located along the scenic R44 (Clarence Drive) near Pringle Bay. It is a natural rock formation that bears a striking resemblance to the character from the movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Environment: The site sits within the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, a highly protected UNESCO heritage site known for its rich fynbos diversity. Cultural Context: While some view the painting as a whimsical piece of local folk art, others in the conservation-focused community of Pringle Bay have historically debated the ethics of painting natural formations in a protected biosphere.
