St Peters
I recently started Geocaching, so you may just hear me mention it every now and then as it gets me to be out and about a bit more than usual. One of the places I found a cache was at the St Peters Church ruins in South End. The church was opened in 1877. After the people of the area were removed due to the Group areas Act in the late 1960's the church was demolished to stop the congregation coming…

Valley view
I had to pop down to Settlers Park for a quick visit the other day and just couldn't help to take a couple of moments to enjoy the view up the Baakens Valley. The valley truly is Port Elizabeth's green lung.

St Georges Park flower
Valentines Day is a day of flowers. Personally I prefer the flowers in the garden or the wild rather than sitting in a vase inside. So to celebrate Valentines Day I'm posting a pic of a Bromeliad flower in St Georges Park, photographed when we went in search of a Geocache there the other day.

There was an international outcry following this incident and a Commission of Inquiry (Kannemeyer Commission) was immediately appointed to investigate the cause of the shooting. The story is told…

Blowing newspapers
A few weeks ago I posted the blowing newspaper art piece which forms part of Route 67. It may be the biggest but its not the only blowing newspaper piece on the route. At the Campanile there is another smaller one containing quotes by Nelson Mandela.

War Memorial plaque
There are a couple of war memorials around St Georges Park commemorating those from Port Elizabeth who have died in various wars over the years. A number of them refer to the two World Wars with the most prominent one being the Cenotaph in front of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum. One of the lesser known ones is a plaque on the front wall of the art museum.

The Donkin flagpole
At 60 meters high the flag pole on the Donkin Reserve in Port Elizabeth is the tallest flag pole in South Africa while the flag flying from it is the biggest South African flag in the world. The flag is about the size of a tennis court and usually when I say it people look at me funny, look up at it and then shake their heads. Remember that the flag is flying 60 meters up so it doesn't look that…
