The Carte Blanche programme on M Net Channel 101 on Sunday 12th May was a big hit and we will be posting a copy of it, courtesy of Carte Blanche and M Net, on YouTube in the near future.

Sandstone will be featuring on Carte Blanche on Sunday  12th May at 19h00, M Net Channel 101. Click on the link for a short preview.

In March of this year, after a number of security issues and a serious drought situation at Sandstone, we restricted visitors to Sandstone to  Saturdays only. We have now resolved the issues and the drought is behind us so we have now revised our visiting arrangements.

As part of their African Collage journey, which is over 3700km by rail, and extends over 12 days winding its way from Pretoria to Cape Town, a group of 48 Rovos Rail guests visited Sandstone last week for a Walking Tour of the Heritage Collection and a steam train ride to Grootdraai. The 1958 built Class NGG16 Garratt locomotive, number 153, hauled the special train which was made up as a mixed train of goods wagons and passenger coaches much to the delight of the guests.
