- Our visit to Kimberley began with a late arrival, but we wasted no time and dropped off our bags before heading out for dinner. The Mohawk Spur provided a delightful dining experience with delicious food. We knew that Kimberley had so much to offer, so we carefully selected a few places to explore the following morning. We marveled at the Cecil John Rhodes statue, paid our respects at the war memorials, and were left in awe by the breathtaking Anglican Cathedral, its size truly mind-blowing. A sentimental journey took us to St Patrick's CBC, where my father and uncle had attended school years ago. The impressive institution surprised us with its greatness. Of course, our visit wouldn't have been complete without a trip to the iconic Big Hole, a colossal highlight that left us amazed. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #northerncape #kimberley

O my word that church is beyond beautiful
Thank you for this video - really brought back memories from the early 1960's.
My dad was one of the ministers at Saint Cyprian's for about 3 years and we lived in a house behind the bell tower which fronted onto what was then "Park Lane".
The present Bell Tower was built during the years we were in Kimberly and became an adventure play ground for my brother and I during it's construction, with frequent dares to see who would climb the scaffolding on the outside all the way to the top as the Bell tower progressed up without being caught by security guard- "scary stuff looking back, but no big deal to 2 lighties back then.
The inside of the cathedral also brought back memories of sitting through lots of services, which carried on after my dad was transferred to his own parish at De Arr as my brother and I were put in as boarders at KBHS and we had to attend church every Sunday night.
Thanks again - safe travels - from Australia
I thoroughly enjoyed this sentimental trip of yours, Curtis - your mouthwatering Spur meal and comfortable accommodation at the end of your long day really set the scene, as did hearing about the welcome rain showers during the night.
The college your father and uncle attended is really quite magnificent! I can only imagine the feelings that “walking in their footsteps” after so many decades must have evoked in you. I particularly loved hearing so many birds as you strolled around - their delightful chorus added such a sense of tranquility.
It was lovely to see inside that beautiful Anglican Cathedral - how fortunate you were admitted by the kind gentleman who procured the key!
This city is clearly steeped in a rich history - beginning with the discovery of diamonds. What an absolute treat to have seen the mine village and the big hole itself! Thank you so much for showing us around!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for joining us in Kimberley. This visit was a little emotional for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed visiting my dad and uncle's former school and some of the other landmarks in the rest of the city. Our meal was to die for and we had such a good time that evening after quite a long drive that afternoon. Fortunately our accommodation was very comfortable too, so when we did hit the sack, it was off to Snoozeland very quickly. 😴 The Cathedral blew my mind, again and again! 😍💒 The detail and the sheer size of it, was rather intimidating in the best way possible and I was just as happy that I was allowed to film inside. I loved wandering around the Big Hole Village and could quite easily see me relaxing in the library with one of those old newspaper books or playing a game of billiards with the other gentlemen. 😁 The hole itself was super, super impressive and I could only really comprehend the enormity of it once I saw it with my own eyes. 😳🕳️ The fact that it was dug by hand, is something I can't completely wrap my mind around just yet. 🤷🏻♂️
My memories of Kimberley goes back to the 80's, and I do know you do not have time to see everything, but the railway station of Kimberley is really something to behold. On our shopping days in Kimberley we always made a quick stop at the drive in bar...I do not know if it still exists. Kimberley was also the first city in the Southern Hemisphere to install electric street lighting....and I had to look up the date...2 Sept 1882....it came on before those of London...can you believe...
Wow, wildly interesting about the first street light and even before London! Go Kimberley! 😁💡 That is really super cool to know. To be honest, we were so overhwelmed by all the history and the buildings we did happen to happen upon, that we never even thought about the station, believe it or not. It sounds a cool place to see though. You've obviously spent some time in Kimberley, a place definitely worthwhile spending time in. The drive-in bar sounds awesome too. Sounds like a great place to take a break from the summer heat which I'm sure is quite intense in Kimberley. 🍻 Cheers to you for taking the drive with us! 🚙👌🏻
Great video! I feel you have to make another stop in Kimberley in the future and see the:
The McGregor Museum
Pioneers of Aviation Museum
Africana Library
So happy to hear you enjoyed our video, thank you! 🚙😁 We were actually parked in front of the McGregor Museum the evening we were hunting for dinner, but there was just too much to see in town and we had to move on. So many beautiful and interesting places and not so much time on the road. 🤷🏻♂️
Nice to see my city through yr eyes
wow the City of diamonds🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great landscapes and terrain
Hi again, wow what a nostalgic trip that was, a blast from the past, if i could I would live in any of those houses @ the big hole, just imagine, i was also there many many yrs ago but it really has so much more to offer now, heartfelt thank you fir taking us along. 🚙🚙🚙
Greetings! I could also very easily live on Tucker Street and check out The Big Hole whenever I want to and wander up and down those streets. What a trip into history this was for us, it was so well worth a visit and long overdue! 🏡🕳️ Kimberley was a surprise in so many ways, thank you for coming along with us! 🚙😁
Hi guys.You've delivered a BRILLIANT video indeed. Thanks so much. I find immense pleasure in all your work.
I so appreciate your very kind comment, thank you so much! 🚙🤩 Travelling and sharing our experiences give us great joy and to hear that you enjoy watching our videos, makes it even more enjoyable.
Hi you two! Thank you for tis amazing trip. Kimberley is one of those well known places we just drive past when we decide to take the N12 to George. It is good to see it from the inside. Your arrival in the wet and dark was well made up for by the cuppas the next morning!
Happy for you that you could visit your dad's old school, it was just as captivating as the churches and the other old buildings.
I am somewhat overwhelmed by the historicity of just about everything in the city. Apart from the Big Hole, that 1870's museum-village was most captivating. Kimberley will take a week or more to explore. I have run out of words to describe the feelings the expedition you took me on left me with. Thanks again!
Keep safe!
Let me tell you, we needed the cuppas the following morning! 😁☕ Kimberley is indeed a big city with big and deep history. It was incredibly interesting to immerse ourselves for a few hours, but then the time came again to move on. I could easily spend a whole day in the village at The Big Hole, it's absolutely awesome and transported me right back to a time I wasn't even around. And the hole itself! There are no words to describe the absolute wonderment I felt when I looked out over it. 🤩🕳️ Definitely a memorable visit this was! 🚙👌🏻
Well you Two have done if again, loved your day in Kimberly, I was born in Kimberly and always feel so nostalgic THANK YOU , thank you for ALWAYS delivering jou remind us of the struggles to build this country sad when the history is vandalized but heart warming to see when towns/cities preserve their heritage you guys are amazing.12/07/2023🎉❤
Thank you! It was just the biggest pleasure visiting your birthtown! 🚙😍 We had no idea that Kimberley had such incredible history and astonishing buildings in store for us, on top of The Big Hole, which we've wanted to see for years now! We so appreciate you coming along. Your thoughts echo ours. While it is sad to see destruction and decay, all of that pale in comparison to the history and the buildings, monuments and such which remain preserved. 🚙🏛️
Kimberley is always a bonus - true display of a real dynamic city with a rich history and so much going on there. I know the city gery well and it was so nice to experience it again. Thanks guys well done. Till the next trip seat booked
Kimberley is a fantastic place for an explorer, we really had a good time! I appreciate you taking the time to come for a drive through this city while you already know it well. It was good to have you on board and we look forward to you hopping on again for the next one! 🚙😁
Hi you two lovely people I am enjoying your travels so much. Thank you especially for this trip. I went to boarding school at Nazareth House from age four to twelve. So lovely to see this town in a different light🙂 thank you. Travel safely and lots of blessings. ❤
We are Americans who lived in Kimberley in the 90s. My children went to Newton Primary School, and we lived on Paul Roos... such an amazing coincidence. Incredible to see this wonderful city again, danke!
Nice. You finally visited Kimberly se gat.
We did indeed. And it was super impressive just as we expected. 🕳️👌🏻
I matriculated from CBC and enjoyed the 8 years I lived in Kimberley. I made some really good friends. Lots of nostalgia watching this from over in New Zealand.
Fun fact, between 2008-2013 St cyprian cathedral used to be a private school.
Kimberley was the first city in the southern hemisphere with street lights
Hi guys i have seen the big hole twice but only from a plane. I was very impressed with the historical city the memorial to the victim's of the concentration camp was sad .the statue of Rhodes was very imperial the bronzes stunning the Anglecan cathedral was amazing I've never seen anything like the brickwork lovely statue of the nun and also her nursing college. The size of the Masonic temple is a great indication of the wealth of Kimberly in the day shame about the war memorials being vandalised. It also happens in the UK. How amazing you got to see where your father and uncle went to school the Christian Brothers schools were known for the good education and also for stong discipline. The grounds where amazing and indoor pool the village was so interesting i bet you could have stayed all day.and the big hole is big and dug by hand. Thanks for showing me Kimberly a place I've only flew over. Great video thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one
Hello to you! We've never been that lucky to see The Big Hole from the air, that must be quite a sight from above! 🕳️✈️ I thought you might be just as impressed by the brickwork in the Anglican Cathedral like we were, it was absolutely incredible! 💒🧱 It was a special experience to walk where my dad and uncle may have walked many moons ago. That school is for sure a beautiful place with gorgeous buildings and grounds. We could easily have stayed for much longer in this interesting and historical city, but it was time to move on and go and explore other places! You know how it goes. So many places .... 🚙🤩
We just love your adventures as we were from what was Rhodesia and South Africa. I last visited Kimberly about 50 years ago!! Greetings from New Zealand. Bob and Cornelia
Hello to both of you! 🙋🏻♂️ I'm very happy to hear that you enjoy our videos, you're always welcome on our virtual backseat! I can't even imagine how much Kimberley must've changed from when you saw it last. We appreciate you watching! 🚙😁
@@DustBugsTravel thanks for your reply, I was really disappointed to see that Rhodes railway coach was in such poor external condition. I remember that it was in immaculate condition. Anyway I suppose that is a fact of life nowadays!! Kind regards Bob and Cornelia
Absolutely loved that awe inspiring Cathedral WOW... that school!! And the big hole museum. Was such an experience.
The Cathedral was indeed WOW, I cherish every moment I could spend there. The intricate details and the sheer size of it were incredible to experience. 💒😍 I'm glad you also enjoyed the school and the village museum at The Big Hole. It was great to visit Kimberley. 🚙👌🏻
Another great video , Thanks guys. We arrived in Kimberley last October in the dark. The place was as black as the inside of a cow with little lighting. Could not find something to eat until we found KFC.
I can easily believe that you struggled to find a place to eat, having arrived in the dark ourselves about a month or so ago as you saw in this video. Fortunately the Spur came to our rescue and the food was really good. 😁🥩🍗 Kimberley is a great town and well worth a visit! 🚙💎
@@DustBugsTravel we stayed in a Lodge. It was brilliant with a great breakfast. Kimberley railway station is well worth a look as it has a railway museum inside it with a steam locomotive cab like you seen at De Aar and a big 25NC class steam loco sits at the south end of the platform.
Een beetje laat maar toch nog even mijn reactie want ohhh wat heerlijk een openlucht museum met originele huizen, treinen, kantoren etc uit vervlogen tijden. I love love love zulke musea. In Arnhem hebben wij er ook één, met zoveel geschiedenis dat je in een dag bijna niet alles kan zien. Van een trieste plaggenhut uit 1900 tot jaren 70 bungalow te zitkuil en zoveel meer. In Stockholm bezocht ik uiteraard Skansen. Cecil en zijn Grote Droom voor Afrika (een treinverbinding van de Kaap naar Egypte zou stiekem toch wel mooi zijn geweest😊), de diamanten koorts, een kathedraal en ook nog eens de plaats waar je vader studeerde, een waarlijk memorabele episode. Van die Big Hole krijg je bijna hoogtevrees, met recht een staaltje mensenwerk dat ontzag opwekt!
Better late than never, they say! 😁 I, like you, love open-air museums and actually can get quite lost in them. Those in Europe and Scandinavia sound awesome and we hope to visit one or more of them one day. 🤞🏻 Kimberley surprised us with so much history that we had no clue about and we saw some pretty incredible things. The buildings are stunning and I was super grateful to see the spectacular Cathedral from the inside. 💒 The Big Hole is very impressive and it was rather incredible to look out over it and to think that human beings like you and I dug that by hand! 😳🕳️ Fortunately I don't have a fear of heights!
Lived next to statue in 1952. Was great then...😢😢
Hoendervleis mooi wow
OMG This brings back memories. I dined at the Mohawk Spur a couple of times and spent a few days in the city. I didn't see the Cathedral which I would have enjoyed (need to go again), The 'Village' at the Big Hole seems to have been refreshed but that's just normal. When I visited there were lots of school children on field trips learning about the history, which was good to see. And The BIG Hole- what can you say except...It's BIG and DEEP. I spent ages looking for the diamonds they missed. Haha, in my dreams.
Thanks for a great video guys. Take care and Drive Safely.
Our food at the Mohawk Spur was excellent. We really enjoyed it, as I'm sure you did too on the occasions you dined there. 😁🥩🍗 As you saw, the Cathedral is located directly opposite the Spur, so you can't miss it when you're in town again. You'll absolutely love it, it's an awe-inspring building, both inside and out. 💒 It was great to see the group of tourists arrive at The Big Hole just as we were leaving, but I was also happy to have it all to myself for the few minutes I spent at the lookout point. Super impressive, for sure! 🕳️🤩
The town of my birth. I always tell people I was born in the gat kand van die aarde. What absolutely special memories. Thank you so much.
We only spent a few hours in Kimberley and have such fond memories of the place, so I can only imagine the special ones you must have! 🚙🤩 We never expected to find so much history in Kimberley, let alone the magnificent buildings and monuments. 😍💒🏛️ And of course The Big Hole was incredible too! 💎 Thank you for taking the drive with us!
This video exeeds the the term brilliant! I can remember the time i was in the army in the late 70's early 80's in Kimberly. There was an airport nearby the the base or maybe still in use. The Freemason temple is stunning and it reminds me back in a previous episode of a masonic temple in Tarkastad. In my next life i want to be married in that Cathedral. Imagine the sound of the organ in that huge church. Safe travel and lookking forward to the next episode.
Thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoyed our visit to this special city! 🚙💎 You must have some vivid memories of your time in this area, being in the army and all! I'm not familiar with the location of the army base or the airport, but I'm fairly confident they're both still very much operational. We haven't seen many Masonic Temples before and we thought this one was very beautiful with those tall columns. You have an excellent memory, we did indeed see a Masonic Lodge in Tarkastad too! That Cathedral blew me away! 💒 I can indeed imagine the sounds of organ music wafting through that chamber and I would imagine many spectacular wedding ceremonies have been held in that special building. We appreciate you joining us again.
Wow, we should have guessed that you're on your way to Kimberley, but it was nonetheless a huge surprise. We travelled through Kimberley a couple of times on our way to friends in Hotazel, but only stopped for petrol. A couple of years ago I was with friends and we just had to stop at the Big Hole. It was amazing, except that I had quite "hoogtevrees" when standing on that look-out point!
We had one more stop on our route before Kimberley, but light was just fading too fast, so we had to move on. I can completely understand that you would be scared looking down at The Big Hole if you have a fear of heights. 🕳️😨 It's such a magnificent sight though, so must've been worth the discomfort you experienced. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the city of Kimberley. 🚙💎
@@DustBugsTravel, just kept a few feet away from the edge, but near enough to take nice pictures.
Lovely little town Kimberly THE BIG HOLE 😎😎😎💯💯💯
The Big Hole is huge and quite impressive! 🕳️😍 The town not as little as we thought! 🚙😁
Amazing! Been to Kimberley many times and each and every time it's always a new and refreshing experience. Agreed, it's not only about the Kruger Park, Table mountain etc, buy your ticket in the city centre, step on the period tram and take a ride past the "Big Cecil" into the village open-air museum and the heyday of mining madness. Almost everything is authentic down to the funeral parlour - truly unique in the world.The train carriage was a bespoke special order from Rhodes made by Pullman in Chicago with state-of-the-art features and conveniences for him and his directors as they moved around the country. Of course there is the dark side; ill-treatment of the black workers, rivalry and violence. In the film "Misery" 1990 based on Steven King's novel, the lead character has his ankles broken with a sledge hammer to immobilise him. His tormentor tells him that "that is how they punished diamond thieves in Kimberley". Grotesque! Thanks Dustbugs.
To be 100% honest, we love the Kruger Park so much, we'd live there if we could! 😍 Kimberley was a fascinating visit for us. The mining village was a definite highlight for me and I felt transported back in time while I was walking around there. History by no means only consists of good and happy stories and events, there were as many, if not more, sad and dark stories and events that took place, as depicted in the movie you referred to. I was a big Steven King fan earlier in my life, but never saw Misery. I may just have a peek. Thanks for all the info and joining us in Kimberley. 🚙💎
What may I ask do you use for camera stabilisation, seems to work well. Rhodes - the first plaque was the peace indaba in Matopos 1894 - first bronze, Rhodes as Prime Minister for the Cape Colony, the not sure of the one with the Academic's - may refer to the Rhodes Scholarship he set up.
I film with my Samsung S22 Ultra cellphone with built-in image stabilisation. A steady hand also helps. 😁 Thank you for the info on the plaques at the Rhodes statue, I really battled to make anything out, other than some of the dates. 🤷🏻♂️
@@DustBugsTravel Thanks for the info.
One Thing Is That You Can't Beat Beautiful Spur Food It Has Always Been One Of Top Restaurants In South Africa And It Still Is And Another Great Old Restaurant Is Mike's Kitchen These Two Have Always Been The Best And Always Are Busy They Found It Hard To Get Back On Their Feet After Covid19 Lockdown But Now They Are Picking Up Customers Again I Have Seen It And Am Happy For Them The Owners Have Worked Very Hard Since The 1960's and 1970's And That Chapel And Cathedral Church Is Beautiful And That Colour Glass Is Hand Made There Is Not Enough Time In One Day To See Everything In Kimberly Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Beautiful Video On A Wonderful Historical Magical City Town Village Called Kimberly @ Dustbugs Travel 👍👍🎥🎥📷📷📸📸👍👍❤️❤️
We've always been big fans of the Spur and their food didn't disappoint in Kimberley either! 😁🥩🍗 We both remember Mike's Kitchen well too! The Cathedral was spectacular to see! 💒 We always only spend one episode in any town, city or place we get to visit and then it's time to move on again! There are just too many places waiting to be explored and we don't have a lot of time on the road. I'm glad you enjoyed our visit to Kimberley. 🚙

I remember the Salad Bars at Spur too. 🍅🥬🥒 I'm more of a meat-and-potatoes guys myself though! 🥩🍗🥔
I enjoyed Kimberly so much . A very historical town. The cathedral was so amazing. The tree to the left of the main entrence was realy competing with the church tower. Thankyou for an interesting visit.
You're so right, Kimberley is such a historical town, we had no idea quite how historical! 😳🏛️💒 The Cathedral was a very special experience for me too and I'll always be grateful that I got to see the inside. You're just like us, we also always see the trees first and then the buildings. 🌳💚 So glad you came along! 🚙👌🏻
Red sand, red buildings dusty streets. Yeah it's Kimberley alright
That was a very nice place you picked for overnight. I love he sound of rain on a sinkdak. That shower looks big enough for two....of wat se ek alles!! The boer war memorial is impressive, at least you could go in and se CJ Rhodes up close. I do hope they dont take the statue down, they have tried with one in Cape Town. The cathedral is awesome, particularly the magnificent entrance. Lucky that you got to see inside. I last visited Kimberley in 1988 as a newly wed. Good to see the old mining village again. I remember that old choo choo.The figures in some of the buildings gives me the creeps! The saloon is just as I remember, except that honky tonky music would start up when you entered, which made it even creepier! The big hole is still the big hole. Amazing what people will do just for a few sparkling klippies, even dig such a hole with their hands. Thank you for a very insightful tour of Kimberley.
Our accommodation was very nice indeed, and a great place to come home to that evening. 😍🏠 Kimberley has its fair share of spectacular buildings and monuments and I'm glad we were able to see a good few of them. The highlight was without doubt the Cathedral and the mining village, those were two memorable stops which I'm very grateful for. 💒💎 The Big Hole is super impressive, especially if one thinks it was dug so long ago and by hand, no less! 🕳️😳 I'm glad you enjoyed our trip to Kimberley. 🚙😁
Kimberley looks better at night
We thought it looked pretty good by day too! 🚙😁
Hell I thought Kimberly was just a big hole 😅.but what stunning churches ⛪ they have there . Just loved your trip and watching your program.
Kimberley is full of interesting and historical monuments and buildings. That stunning Cathedral was definitely a big highlight for us, I was awestruck by its beauty, inside and out. 🚙💒 The Big Hole is for sure incredible to see too, especially when one thinks it was dug entirely by hand. 🕳️💎 I'm glad you enjoy our videos, thank you for watching! 😁
In 1950 my Dad Charlie McCulloch was a freemason.
So much security like a prison. Doesn't look like a safe town anymore
It is the "new" South Africa... you must be prepaired for the "baddies",unfortunately.
Our open gardens are things of the past. We all fence ourselves IN to try and keep the baddies OUT!! But the nature of the country is still beautiful.....❤
@neilarmitage6632 Wow, I hope you saw more than just that in our video! 🤷🏻♂️ For the record, we never felt unsafe once while in the city.
Hi Niel. I can't think of any safe town's anymore. I live in the beautiful town of Graskop. The Spar in town has been robbed twice in recent years. Once when it was full of shoppers who were also robbed. The last time a few months back they blew up the ATM inside. The petrol station has been robbed so many times I've lost count. The ATM there has also been blown up numerous times. My wife and I were robbed at our house in Pilgrims Rest 12 years ago. I was shot in the chest but was still able to chase them off. The new South Africa is a real blast.
@@nivenrowe59 yes it's chaos. The small free state and Northern Cape towns are a bit better. All main centers, KZN, Mpumalanga are hot spots.
Very informative video! I never knew Kimberley is a city! When I searched for the population, I saw it's only 7525 people, but then realised that's Kimberley in Canada! Seems the one in SA has around 225 000. That museum looks fascinating, with the was models and all! It's also remarkable that one of the buildings was prefabrucated in England! Although you didn't mention this in the video, I searched for the biggest hand dug mine hole in the world and seems it's either the Kimberley hole of the one in Jagersfontein, of which more info can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagersfontein_Mine
Kimberley is a fascinating city. 💎 We specifically didn't mention the biggest hole in this episode, but we did in our Jagersfontein video. Check out Episode 214 if you like. 🕳
@@DustBugsTravel So you've even been to Jagersfontein! Thanks for pointing me to that episode. We'd watch that one next🧭
Curtis, the Centenial Flame monument, has been closed off due to vandalism. The bonse plates and plaques has been removed by vandels.
I gathered that much, thank you for the confirmation. While it's sad to see, it's also wonderful how Kimberley protects its monuments from any further damage. 😍🏛️
Accomodation there by the big hole but service was so bad we turned around.
Hopefully you got to see some of the other attractions in Kimberley. The city has so much to offer and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. 🚙💎
How’s the loadshedding and water cuts?
We live in the Western Cape, so I'm only able to comment on our province. 🙂 Loadshedding is still ongoing and moves between stages. We occasionally will have a reprieve for a day or two, but we have at least one two-hour scheduled power outage each day. As far as water cuts go, we don't experience those where we live. We have heard about those though in many places we've travelled to and through. 💡🚰
@@DustBugsTravel luckyyyyyyy
The building you're looking at at @44:45 is the only original building at the museum from back in the days.
Thank you for the info. 👌🏻 I still think the village museum is a wonderful place and well worth a visit.
