A little classic about the glorious South African transportation system in the heyday of the National party Government. Made by the Department of Information, the film depicts three journeys from coast to interior and shows the vast network of roads and rail routes to the industrial centre. Johannesburg. Filled with naive optimism of the 60s, the film abounds with nostalgic references to the Great Treck as we retrace the steps made by the Afrikaner forefathers.
