Barberton

Province: Mpumalanga Region: Wild Frontier
Directory Listings: Accommodation: Camp Sites: Trails: Info Offices

Description:
Graham Barber discovered a rich gold-bearing reef in 1884 in his mining camp at Reimers Creek. This discovery was followed by an inevitable rush of furtune-seekers to the area. The Mining Commissioner, David Wilson, proclaimed the new settlement a township and named it Barberton. He "christened" it by breaking a bottle of gin on a rock - no bottle of champagne being available at the time. New reefs were subsequently reported and the rush of fortune-seekers from all over the world was given even greater impetus when Edwin Bray found the fabulously rich Sheba Reef in 1885 and started the once-famous Bray's Golden Quarry. Barberton mushroomed as tin shanties, shops and scores of canteens sprang up to meet the diggers' needs. Within two years, when the town's first post office was opened, its first newspaper, The Barberton Herald, was launched, and the Transvaal's first stock exchange started dealing here, the population of 20 000 was greater than that of any other town in the former Transvaal. The facade of the Kaap Gold Fields Stock Exchange Ltd is preserved as a national monument, as is the 1887 Globe Tavern, one of Barberton's many early hostelries and a fine example of the type of building erected extensively on the Eastern Transvaal goldfields in the late nineteenth century.

Bathurst

Directory Listings: Accommodation: Camp Sites: Trails: Info Offices

Description:
Bathurst - Home to The World's Biggest Pineapple. A quaint village situated in the Eastern Cape on the Sunshine Coast, a scenic half-hour's drive on the R67 from Grahamstown or 10 minutes from Port Alfred, half way between Port Elizabeth and East London on the R72. Bathurst was once the administrative capital of the Eastern Districts of the Cape of Good Hope. Named after the Colonial Secretary, Lord Bathurst in May 1820, the village still has many links to its pioneer past with a distinct English ambience. It is now an important pineapple growing and cattle farming area. The village of Bathurst offers many places interest. Attractions include tractor tours of the pineapple plantations surrounding Summerhill Estate with its hotel, restaurant and bar. The Toposcope, 3km east of town indicates the settlement of the 1820 Settlers parties and provides panoramic views over the district and coastline. The Pig and Whistle, built in 1831 and claiming to be the oldest licensed inn in the country, stands in the centre of the village. Bradshaw's Mill, built by Samuel Bradshaw in 1821 and home of the wool-industry in South Africa, houses a reconstructed water-mill. The Bathurst Agricultural Museum, immediately north of Bathurst on the Grahamstown road, has one of the finest collections of its kind in South Africa. The Powder Magazine, a stone structure built during the Frontier Wars and believed to be the oldest building in Bathurst, remains unaltered to this day. The St John's Anglican Church, the oldest unaltered Anglican Church in South Africa. The Wesleyan Chapel, built in 1832, houses the bible of diarist Jeremiah Goldswain who once ran the local Pig and Whistle Hotel. Morley House, built by Thomas Hartley in 1828, gives a fascinating example of life in the 1820's. As the saying goes: "There is no Thirst like Bathurst"
