General Information:

Letter from C.V. Cloete to A. Cloete - see p. 30 - "... At the beginning of 1907 Dad and John de Waal and D. & B. v Breda took a trolley on the Slatters road and that was the 1st wagon ever to be on the Plateau. Shortla after that I took our big wagon with Mother, Madge and Jos through. This was a very hard journey as the road was all right for a light wagon. So our family were the first to be on the Plateau as a family. Shortly after Lockstone arrived. We went up to the Plateau again with them, so Mrs Lockstone was the 2nd family or woman there, the two journeys being in 1907. .…."
