in the Free State it's just on the other side of the Orange River but the road we're taking is in the free state but we can't come up this way and not visit Orna I have never been to Orna so I would like to see it absolutely yes we have to turn off of this road and I'm hoping it's gravel all the way through to orania [Music] [Laughter] [Music] w [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] n [Music] [Music] w [Music] this is very interesting huh yeah it's um the names of the farms and how far they are from here with the initials and the suram of the of the owners I would imagine wow that's it's the first time I've seen something like that and it's old look how rusted it yeah you just see the white bums all running away now lots of them a they're all so far away a there's a little Buck right next to the road oh sweet she's posing nicely look those [Music] ears Foria 7 have you ever heard of V before never heard of V this is the end of our gravel road but I think this is the

this is the OD which means the old P Beacon n trees this is beautiful private property okay I'm not allowed in you but this is awesome eh M gorgeous the gate is not locked I say please close the gate cuz the little Antelope or the goats which either one eat the trees and the flowers if they put them on the graves I'm sure that's incredible eh heavy spiderweb around that plant I'd say it's like the biggest one I've ever seen this is an interesting structure yes so this must this is a fairly new graveyard or Cemetery this here is the grave of Carl bosov and apparently he was the founder of orania he passed away in 2011 so interesting that we just found out now because I was bit confused about Henrik fut being buried yeah but it was his wife Betsy or Elizabeth F that was buried yeah and I think they just made a a monument out of it for HRI for as well because Betsy used to live here in and she was buried yeah he is buried in the Euro AA in ptor yes so the town is split in two it's divided by the r369 so now we just crossed over and we're going to go and see the other side of Oria that's pretty the lock Heavens yeah they are beautiful these guys I think this is a museum oh some items look how nice they're putting up pictures of the older people in urania and they call them the wise gray ones that's fantastic eh love that I do as well yes the school uh Fork school urania yes very neat town I can't help but notice that definitely it's the Africans Protestant Church of arania all right inter in voting it's a nice emblem in the on the side there I wonder if we can find out when it was established that is pretty eh look this grass how cool are these things I love it ready looks as if we can rent them eh yes it does it's the third one we've seen in a short while I want to see if I can get up there somehow I see some yeah a walkway okay I think this is the Irish Monument all right is this your first stop let me stop yeah there's a little story We block so this is interesting this is a monument which apparently was in ptor at one stage but then it just went into to decline and was demolished uh which was actually to bring tribute to the Irish volunteers who helped the bu's fight against the British back in the days of the Anglo bu war and they moved this Monument now the pieces that we left here to orania and it was erected on the 1st of November in 2002 oh that's pretty awesome that they did that eh it's so nice that they saved these the four silos yes to put them up here now let's go to the next one okay this looks very interesting it does ehh it really does
