  • The drive from Kathu through to Postmasburg was very scary. The big trucks and cars were driving pretty wild. At least we made it through safely. On the road we came across the Lohatla military training facility and we just had to stop at the vehicles on display. Then we arrived at an interesting mining town in the Northern Cape, Postmasburg. We found the town to be very busy but it had an intriguing history. The stop where they loaded the iron ore and manganese onto the trains was really cool to see. It was a good visit to Postmasburg. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #northerncape #postmasburg #kathu

    Elke dag 5 sent betaal om daar te gaan swem na skool in die 80's. Die plek het nou regtig 'n mynbou-plantasie geword, want om die rou goed gou en goedkoop te plunder is nog al wat lyk my werk. Ou Rhodes en die empaaier kan trots vol nou dat hul hul sin hier kry.

    Such beautiful clouds! But oh my! How people drive!! I would have hated that. That tank looks really kwaai! ??!! What has happened to our army then? Yay! A choo-choo! I think its the iron ore making everything pink, it does have a reddish colour. I love the old graves. Thanks for showing us the railway and the mining trucks. Grizzly bars? But not bears! I have always seen Postmasburg on the map and wondered what it looked like. Seems a nice peaceful town. The best was once again the sky. Those clouds just stole the show! Lovely 3D effect. Thank you again.

    I agree Curtis. The stonework on the church is near perfect.

    I worked there on housing projects in 2010 and that swimming pool was like that. Nothing been done in all this time. When we had the huge flood there and park homes and carvans washed away. It was scary really very scary

    Hi you two! Thanks for this very interesting ride under blue skies with REAL clouds. I hope you weren't chased with a rainstorm again on your way out of town.
