Alan Paton historical Railwayline
Allan Paton wrote :
"The small toy train climbs up on its narrow gauge from
the Umzimkulu valley into the hills. It climbs up to Carisbrooke,
and when it stops there, you may get out for a moment and look down on the great
valley from which you have come. It is not likely the train will leave
you, for there are few people here, and everyone will know who you are. And
even if it did leave you, it would not much matter; for unless you are
very old ... you could run after it
and catch it for yourself."
Take a ride in a genuine vintage steam-train along this very railwayline!

Swallow breeding site in the district, and the mysterious Blackrumped
Button Quail are resident on the farm.
