bA visit to Rorkes Drift included exploring the St Augustines Mission about 10 kms north of the Drift. The Church started and completed in 1903, by Dr Charles Johnson is still in reasonable condition. The numerous well built outbuildings are however in a state of disrepair.
A visit to the Mission should be included in any tours of the area to this mission, one of many built by Dr Johnson (1850 to 1927). I was taken around by a very friendly and able youngster but a guide is reccommended.
