Tourism is featured again in this stamp, which depicts the Devil’s Cataract at the Western extremity of the famous Victoria Falls. The Falls need no introduction to the international traveller. Some interesting statistics: Peak flow of water (April) 75,000,000 gallons per minute; minimum flow (October) 4,000,000 gallons per minute; mean height 304 feet; greatest height (Rainbow Falls) 355 feet; width of Falls 1860 yards. Discovered by Dr. David Livingstone on the 16th November, 1855, the Falls are today almost exactly as they were when he first saw them.
