Roelf,

Aha!! The seed has sprouted and should bear fruit in slightly less that a year's time.

To find the Kidsons mill, I will have to line up Baviaanskop in the distance with Victory Hill in the middle distance. I know the Kidson vein occurred in the Moodies quartzite, which is also a prominent ridge.

The old Fairview mill will be more difficult to pin as I believe it is now covered by Eucalyptus trees. Maybe they will be gone soon.

I think I know where this valley is. Plan is to confirm later today. I have a meeting nearby and can grab low range for a few km and try to take a picture.

Yip.
Found it.
Pics are failing to load.
Will try on WiFi from home this evening.

The zigzag track is still visible from the opposite slope of the valley, but is not visible on GE anymore. I have a 1959 aerial photo on my office wall and luckily one can still see the track on that - which was my best lead. Still not getting picks loaded. Will continue trying.

I think we have driven past this one on previous TITD adventures, but will have to go there again to make sure.

If I look at the dress code I might need to bring my Top Hat next year ;-)

I hope for their sake that it was winter.
