More from my recent travels (which were a bit of a busman's holiday): Pilgrim's Rest, a historic gold rush town in #Mpumalanga from the 1870s. Architecture of tin buildings with wide verandas is largely unchanged as the rush quickly fizzled out.

The town is a bit Disneyfied, but it's still worth a visit. This is the Highwayman's Garage, opened up by a former digger who returned to the town after serving time in prison for unsuccessfully holding up a gold delivery. Image
The outline of the old diggings are still visible outside the town.
