South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique
I was lucky enough to spend a three week holiday in these countries, organised by Dave Thornhill of "World Steam" fame, during 1972 when there was still plenty of steam to be found. Photos are in chronological order. Many more photos to be added as time permits!
