Nice pictures, I especially liked the carved stone with the cross. Is the sandstone block with the cross the same one that was cut from Isandlwana mountain?

HiWaterloo

From the KwaZulu-Natal Heritage Site.

'Construction of the church at the mission began in 1882. Masons cut a sandstone block from Isandlwana mountain and carved it into a Greek cross above the date of the battle. The foundation stone was laid in 1879.' I'm assuming that this is the same place.

Here is the link.
