Le mémorial de guerre sud-africain a été le premier érigé à King's Park et commémore les soldats ouest-australiens morts en service ou tués au combat pendant la guerre sud-africaine (Boer) de 1899 à 1902. La première pierre du mémorial a été posée par Son Altesse le duc de Cornouailles et d'York en juillet 1901 qui s'était rendu en Australie pour ouvrir le Parlement du Commonwealth. Le canon de campagne Krupp a été capturé à Bothaville et présenté à l'État par le gouvernement britannique en 1906. La sculpture en bronze grandeur nature d'un soldat australien par James White, de Sydney, s'est rapidement détériorée et a été remplacée. La nouvelle statue commémorative a été dévoilée sur le monument par le gouverneur de l'Australie-Occidentale, Son Excellence Sir Harry Barron, le 23 mai 1915. La statue en cuivre massif martelé a été fabriquée localement par MM. Wunderlich and Co.

The South African War Memorial was the first war memorial erected in the Park, and commemorates Western Australian soldiers who died in service or were killed in action in the South African (Boer) War from 1899 to 1902. The foundation stone for the memorial was laid by His Highness the Duke of Cornwall and York in July 1901 who had been in Australia to open the Parliament of the Commonwealth. The Krupp field gun was captured at Bothaville and presented to the State by the British Government in 1906. The life size bronze sculpture of an Australian soldier by James White of Sydney deteriorated quickly and was replaced. The new memorial statue was unveiled on the monument by the Governor of Western Australia, His Excellency Sir Harry Barron, on the 23rd May 1915. The statue of solid hammered copper was made locally by Messrs Wunderlich and Co.

A bit of clever marketing by a farmer of the Bothaville district, for the farm stall!

No costs, no hiring!

What a bright way to advertise!

In the serene embrace of a late Autumn afternoon, amid the vibrant hustle of Friday's rush hour traffic, a Rovos Rail ensemble bound for Namibia, proudly propelled by two timeless 5E1 locomotives, charges through Orkney. Here, it embarks on a new journey, veering towards the steel arteries leading to Kimberley.

In the distance, the echo of history resonates—the once-active branchline to Bothaville, now a silent witness to bygone days.

Orkney, Klerksdorp.

The Case STX Steiger is a tractorline built by Case IH. This line continues the models built by Steiger Tractor, which was purchased by Case IH in 1986.

The tractors are built in Case IH's plant in Fargo, North Dakota, where already 50,000 units of this line were built.

This tractor line is powered by engines with 368 hp (274 kW) to 589 hp (439 kW). They are available with Quadtracs or tires and are also available from New Holland as model TJ or T9000.

In 2007, the STX500 Quadtrac tractor was featured on the television series Top Gear, where presenter Richard Hammond chose the STX Steiger for some of the challenges, (eventually including ploughing.) It was lapped around the Top Gear Test Track by The Stig, finishing in a time of 4:49.1, which is the slowest lap ever round the track In 2005 that model of tractor broke the 24 hour ploughing World Record, turning 792 acres (3.21 km2) of farmland in just 24 hours.

From Wiki: "Versatile is a Canadian brand of agricultural equipment that has produced augers, swathers and combine harvester. In the 1970s, it was an independent operation, founded by Peter Pakosh and Roy Robinson, that had 70% of the 4WD tractor market and then was later owned by Ford and Fiat's New Holland, spun off when Case-International merged with New Holland to form CNH Global.

Versatile was the first company to mass-produce articulated four-wheel drive tractors, starting in 1966 with the D100 and G100 four-wheel drives. Those ground-breaking tractors were primitive by modern standards, with a 6-cylinder diesel or 8-cylinder gas engine producing 100 horsepower. 1966 models sold for less than CA$10,000."
