On this day in 1932 my town was blown to pieces when a train carrying 1,200tons of dynamite destined for the mines, exploded just outside of town. The explosion happened just beyond where the railway masts disappear into the trees. Read here...
I received so many good comments about my stay in the bush during the previous photo, that I hereby invite all of you to consider an African Safari. Want to contact me? LOL
Thank you for the comments and visits to my previous upload:
