Cullinan

About an hour and a half from Joahnnesburg on the R 513 lies the town of Cullinan. A small village trapped in time, Cullinan has the distinction of being the location of the discovery of the world’s largest diamond - a ‘mere’ 3106 carats! While the town has suffered the effects of the move away from mining in the area, and the Cullinan Diamond sits in several pieces in the crown Jewels in the UK, Cullinan and its surrounds still boast some lesser known jewels for Jo’burgers seeking a respite from the pace of the big smoke.
