- Diane at the Darling Museum took time out of her schedule to give me a guided tour and show me the fascinating items and artefacts in the museum. It was really awesome to walk through and see the history of the town with all the treasures which were donated to the museum by the residents of Darling. I recognised many of the items from my grandparents' houses. Watch this video to learn a few interesting things about Darling. Enjoy! #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #darling #museum

oh wow Curtis! What fun for you. Where's my girl? Waiting in the car?
We are having fun. Yes she is waiting in the car. 😂
This was really very interesting. Loved the creamery
I loved the museum.
That was extraordinary and many memories from my childhood very very nice. How things change over the years.
It was so interesting to see.
Wow! Now this is a museum! The museum has so many valuable and meaningful items. So much history. This definitely goes on my bucket list!
Thank you so much to the lady for giving us a personal tour. 💗
What a delightful museum - established with so much love and attention to detail.
I do hope someone starts a dairy with pastured cows, and that follows regenerative farming principles - and will provide raw milk, cream, cultured milk products and butter - we really need something like this!
It really is a stunning museum and the lady was so generous with her time and knowledge, I so appreciated that! 👌🏻 I support your idea of a dairy, but I suppose the capital outlay is quite a challenge and then of course to get enough clients to support them to make it sustainable. 😏🐂
Excellent museum. There are 2 products that I buy in the shop...Darling Yoghurt and Darling milk....NO other manufacturer. ..these two are the best.
We also quite enjoy their products. 👌🏻🫗 I absolutely loved the museum and the lady was so gracious with her time. Darling is a cool place and actually much closer to Cape Town than I thought.

As do we - but I so wish they would make raw milk products available.
Wow! Back after 3 weeks in Africa……..we continue our Kwiddy travels with DustBugs 🥰
Intriguing museum tour in Darling👏
Darling! Darling! I love the museum and I would like to live there a retired persons paradise. Thank you so much for taking me there. I would have passed from this life not knowing a paradise like this existed.😃😛🥲❣❣❣❣
🤩 It really is a lovely place with a chill vibe. You should do yourself a favour and stop by one day, it's about 90km or so from Cape Town. The museum was super interesting to me, I'm so glad you enjoyed it too! 😁🚗
@@DustBugsTravel I live in Durban Curtis, and never been to Cape Town.😥
It's time. You will fall in love with the area. 😍
That museum is fantastic.
Been watching the older videos - I was pleasantly surprised to hear you mention in this video that your family is originally from Gonubie .. I’m in East London 😁😁😁
Greetings to you in East London! 🙋🏼♂️ Yes, my family has deep roots in your city and the Eastern Cape in general. Glad to hear you're watching the older video's, it's not even that long ago, but feels like forever. 😁🚗

I also lived in East London for several years as a child/until I left for university. My parents immigrated to SA from what was then Southern Rhodesia.
Stayed at Gonubie Manor a few years back! Beautiful and tranquil place🥰
My grandfather was a doctor in Darling around 1970 and I remember the town well his name was Daniel Malherbe.
Interesting! It must look quite different from what you remember though. It's not a very big town now, so it was probably much smaller in 1970 and I assume there couldn't have been many doctors in town. 👨🏻⚕️🏥
Very cute local museum. A bit of a bittersweet note here - I can't blame the people who built the butter and dairy industry there in the old days. They came there to built a better life for themselves and they did not have the wide scientific ecosystem knowledge that we do now. At the same time, its impossible to escape the notion that these very same dairy farmers and their cows have displaced native fauna and driven the bloubok and quagga to extinction.
Always interesting to see smaller museums, especially in a "fresh" colonial country.
Here everything with history dating after 1200 AD is considered "new" ;)
It is indeed fascinating that what we consider 'old' is ancient in Europe. I agree with you and it's always been sad to me that humans in their search for advancement, destroyed so much of the planet, most notably the living, breathing animals and plants which we will never see or experience again. 😥🌍
