Old Mine








Well Patrick had his funeral service yesterday which was well attended and a wake at the Shellhole afterwards. I couldn't get to Durban again this weekend so missed it. Ok Patrick - R.I.P.
I visited the first payable mine in the "Transvaal" this morning. The tunnels into the hills only went in for a few metres. They seemed to dig in all directions. At the tunnel where I am standing there was a bee hive. It reminded me of the times I have had wild honey in Zululand. Ek verstaaan die feit dat hierdie blom die Nationale emblem van Suid Afrika is. Hulle groei wild in hierdie omgewing.
The last photo is of the water tower on Northcliff Hill not far from where I stay. I've seen better looking lighthouses.
