    Thanks for showing us around this interesting town. I have never been there myself. It would be great for tourism if they could get some steam excursions utilising that railway line!"

    Some more beautiful houses and artwork there, Willie😊. I loved The Lavender House. The food you ate looked a bit like our Scottish "mince 'n' tatties" (mince and potatoes) which some people like to eat in a roll or between pieces of bread! Not me though, I eat it the traditional way.. on a plate 😂.

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  14 дней назад +1

      I thought you might enjoy this town, Sheila! It is wonderful to stroll along the gravel roads and take in the art and architecture. The Lavender House stood out for sure. I've never heard of the dish you described there, but I'm also a plate man if I have the chance! The vetkoek I had was magnificent value at R35. Have a great day!

    Great video willie as much on the previous video it does has an Australian feel about it especially the scenery very interesting ideal location and much alike. It has been completed how many comparisons are demonstrating not as old times when first discovered but also has indentation to see what formalities they achieved or developed to make the town how it is today. Thank you for visiting this place for others to view and information about certain specific places that often covered by others!

    Fantasties om te sien Fauresmith is groener as groenland! Die video bring goeie herhinneringe terug van 1990, toe ek saam met my oupa op die dorpie vir middag ete gestop het! As 'n grootkop van Standard Bank, het hy veral v.d. Standard Bank gebou gehou!

    Great video, Willie! Interesting factoid (not sure if you mentioned this, I might have missed it) - In the 19th century, Fauresmith was briefly considered as the capital of the Orange Free State Republic but lost to Bloemfontein by just one vote. So ja, things could have been different...

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  14 дней назад

      Thanks as always for watching and contributing, Jasper! Yes, I did mention the close vote, though my sources claim it was two votes. But nonetheless, it was heartbreakingly close for Fauresmith!

    Baie dankie willi ook van my kant aaf! Ek moet regtig Suid Afrika besoek maar hoe kom 'n mens byvoorbeeld van die lughawe Johannesburg na hierdie klein dorpies toe as jy nie 'n motor wil huur nie? Ek is 'n bietjie bang om aan die "verkeerde kant" te ry.

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  14 дней назад +2

      Guten tag, wie gehts? Altyd lekker om van jou te hoor :) Suid-Afrika het ongelukkig nie betroubare en volop beskikbare publieke vervoer nie. Jy sal Bloemfontein toe kan vlieg maar sal dan 'n privaat voertuig benodig om die kleiner plekkies te besoek. Dit is maar die realiteit en erg frustrerend! Die ander opsie is om my videos te kyk, ek sal die plekke wys vir jou ;) Groete daar!

      Hi Leo, thanks for watching and supporting my channel! Demographic details are always tricky to find, including timely (and accurate!) census data. So even if I do mention demographic data, it might not always be correct.
