Barkly West – A Fascinating Experience and a True Treasure! Ep 345

Описание: Our trip to Barkly West was filled with delightful surprises and historical wonders. As we made our way to the town, we were captivated by the sight of a picturesque lake teeming with vibrant birdlife, setting the perfect tone for our visit. Upon reaching the outskirts of the town, we saw a magnificent old steel bridge, which was constructed back in 1885 as the first bridge spanning the Vaal River. Exploring the adjacent building, which was once a Museum and before that a Tollhouse, was a fascinating experience, despite us being disheartened by its vandalised state. Continuing our exploration, we ventured to the abandoned caravan park, a relic of days gone by. The train station proved to be another highlight, as we encountered a very long train parked, with the driver catching a well-deserved nap. However, the true treasure was discovering the Parish Church of St Mary, a gem from 1871. Stepping inside, we felt privileged to immerse ourselves in the rich history contained within its hallowed walls. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #northerncape #barklywest
