We had another somewhat long journey to reach Robertson, but it was a delightful drive, especially with the beautiful sunrise and scenic views along the way. Arriving in Robertson was thrilling, as our first stop was at the old station where we saw the impressive New Cape Central Railway operation, which includes a stunning steam engine and coaches that visit some of the local wine farms. We then grabbed some coffee to kickstart our exploration. The churches and old buildings were very beautiful and our visit to the museum provided a rich background on the history of Robertson. To conclude our trip, we stopped off at Birds Paradise. Robertson has so much to offer, it was a wonderful experience. #DustBugs #dustbugstravel #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #westerncape #robertson

What a nice pretty clean town. All over it is well looked after and maintained.. churches are stunning and well kept. I love th trees wherever you drive. Suppose the wine industry keeps the wheels of the town turning. Thank you a trip well done. Next one i am there!

Hi guys another awesome video loveed all the history and the museum was so interesting with the wagon building tools the Barry's had alot to with the town my mother in law was a Barry it's a very popular name in Cork in Ireland 🇮🇪 great to see the railway working for wine tours. The Methodist church so white it could have been made from icing super. The NGK church was stunning loved the colour and the silver spire the interior was amazing beautiful tree lined streets gave a calm vibe compared to the cbd witch was buzzing as you said the town thrives on the wine industry .loved the bi lingual parrots.the flamingos did look like statues ( I had a funny experience in Epcot centre in Florida I said its amazing how real those statues are my wife and daughter looked at me like I was mad they said there real then one moved lol ) loved the town thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one .

Hi you two! Thank for taking me on this exploration. The town is so beautiful and neat and that old DRC is amazing. The Bird Paradise is very aptly named a paradise and uniquely interesting with Curtis chatting with the parrots. I'm ready for the next trip. Keep safe on the roads!

What's the guess that the steam engine was named after that famous song "Amanda love of my life " sung by the big Texan Don Williams. I am only about 1 and a half hours drive from the Kingston Flyer.

Robertson is a place Roger and I visited quite frequently. We would also visit Ashton's Platform 62 for lunch and a glass of wine. Then go through to Montague. Didn't take you long to find a station, and what a beautiful one. Nice to know it still is used. Robertson station is amazing. Feel right at home there with all that wine around. Lovely steam locomotives. Love the tree lined streets and old buildings.

Back in the wine area again...Oh that NCCR is very interesting. I have been to Robertson quite a few times and I just love the place. The Wacky Wine Festival is normally in June every year but I have not seen the announcement for it for this year. What a beautiful garden at the museum..wow.

A most impressive town with beautiful tree-lined streets and manicured lawns. I couldn't spot a single piece of litter, nor a single pothole! What really caught my attention (besides the beauty of the DR church itself) was the phenomenal craftsmanship of the woodwork/carpentry contained within the church. The superb locomotive "Amanda" and the coaches on a functional train track was an awesome find. Thank you.

Wow, I never knew there's so much to see in Robertson! That museum's very interesting, but I wonder how many people would know it's still operating if both of you thought it closed down (from the footage shown it really looks closed from the outside)! I never knew that there was 1 min oats back in the days. When I looked up the history of Quacker oats, it showed that their 1st 1 min oats entered the market in 1922! Amazing that those parrots in the bird sanctuary can speak both Afrikaans and English! Wonderful that you managed to get into the church! I couldn't see clearly, but it looks like they still have Dutch writing on the interior, or am I mistaken?
@DustBugsTravel
@DustBugsTravel 3 месяца назад
It's very easy to make the mistake to think that the museum is closed and I'm sure that contributes to the fact that they don't get that many visitors. There was definitely Dutch writing inside the church. I remember seeing it on the curved section above the pulpit. 💒
