    We have been there - found it quite moving. There were quite a few flowers slotted into the memorial plaques. My wife sat on the the very big chair on the other side of the restaurant. Enjoyed BH and surrounds.

    SONG: Durban Deep - Elton John/Bernie Taupin
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I won't see you 'till Christmas
    I breathe coal dust, I get blisters
    But the foreman he don't worry
    He say work boy there's no hurry
    Don't that big red sun
    Look a lot like fire
    When you come out of the ground
    After forty eight hours

    Going down down down down down
    Going down in Durban deep
    Going down down down down down
    There's no mercy in my sleep
    I just hear that drill and hammer
    I feel the killing heat
    Going two miles down to the heart
    Of Durban deep

    I was born on amen corner
    I pound rock face, I get lonely
    But my family they go hungry
    Sill the boss man he call us lazy
    Don't the old blue heaven
    Look a lot like your eyes
    When you're blinded by the brightness
    Of the Transvaal sky
