About Virginia

Virginia's a Free State goldfields town, just off the R30 between Welkom and Kroonstad, with the N1 close by for those coming from Bloem or Joburg direction. Most local traffic is short hops to Welkom or Hennenman, while visitors tend to come from way further, like Ga-Rankuwa or even Thabazimbi. Welkom Airport is 37 km out, and there's one fast EV charger nearby. Worth knowing: Virginia's the site of the 1994 Merriespruit tailings dam disaster.
