Harrismith Tourism
In the shadow of Platberg, lies the jewel of the Freestate.  Harrismith, with its host of activities, historical sites and beautiful surroundings has long been merely a stop-over along the way somewhere.  But if you take the turn off, you will be pleasantly surprised by the little town that awaits.  Driving through the streets lined with old leafy trees, Harrismith is sure to find its way to any tourist’s heart.

    Life under the Platberg

    "Really? I didn't know it was there...." Louise folded her arms over a corduroy jacket and thought for a while. "I've been to the graveyard a few times but I haven't heard of Paulina," she said.
