Favorite thing: If you travel on the older, smaller roads in South Africa, you will find areas with a tree or two, concrete table and benches and a bin.
Do take stop at these, it has always been, and still to a lesser degree, part of a road trip, where you have food and drink ("padkos" - Afr) and time to strech the legs.

Favorite thing: Beneath the slopes of the Katberg and Elandsberg ranges, a military stronghold was built in 1862 known as Elands Post.
In this handsome setting a village grew, sheltered by the little fort.
The village lies close to the Kat River Dam and is an agricultural centre and terminus of a branch railway from Fort Beaufort.

Favorite thing: A centre for sheep farming, and the terminus of the branch railway to Queenstown, Tarkastad is on a plain to the north of the Winterberge range.
The name Tarkastad comes from the Xhosa language, and means an area of many birds.
