Transnet Freight Rail has completed testing of a 7.6-kilometre-long freight train made up of 696 wagons, approximately 247 metres longer than Australia's record of 7.353km (682 wagons) set in 2001.

𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐊𝐄𝐋

𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐠 𝐧𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐲𝐞 𝐨𝐩 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧

SUTHERLAND — Sowat 20 km vanaf Sutherland in die rigting van Ouberg op die Bo-Visrivierpad sal jy Pa se Engel Oppie Plaas-akkommodasie op die plaas Hartebeesfontein vind.

Wanneer jy hier oorslaap, bevind jy jouself midde-in ’n stukkie geskiedenis. Die verblyf bestaan uit 2 gerestoureerde eenhede - Skooltjie en Meulhuis. Volgens Alene Cloete, wat saam met haar man die eenhede gerestoureer het, “was (dit) destyds ’n ou plaasskooltjie en langsaan ’n ou meul. Vandaar die name, Die Skooltjie en Die Meulhuis.”

Die Skooltjie is ’n 2-slaapkamereenheid met ’n solder, asook ’n lekker binne- en buitebraai. Dit bied slaapplek vir 6 gaste. Die Meulhuis is ’n 2-slaapkamer kothuis, ook met ’n binne- en buitebraai. Die unieke dekor is met sorg uitgesoek en is, volgens Alene, “eie aan die Karoo hier in die Roggeveld”.

Vir navrae kan Alene Cloete gekontak word by 082 5033 964.
