I lived in Fort Rosebery briefly in 1951 or 1952. For a description of water supplies, see: http://www.nrzam.org.uk/HildaWilliam...Williams1.html go to chapter 13 "Building the Bush House" and go to paragraph 13, starting "In about ten days our house was up". I experienced a 'Rhodesian Boiler' whilst on the wild coast of South Africa, they work amazingly well, as long as the "stick boy" stays awake. Better than the shower at a place we stayed at in Lesotho where you had to pour paraffin into a burner on the feed pipe and carefully adjust the air inlet to control the flame. Mike |
