How it all began…

1978-1994

Holmes Sweet Home

The Holmes family’s journey with their Zinkwazi property began in 1978 with a visit to Vic’s cousin. After spending several holidays in the local caravan park, they purchased land in 1979 and started building. They lived in a nearby home while construction was underway, eventually converting an existing loo into a kitchen and bathroom. The family moved into their completed home in the mid-1980s, adding a pool and games room. Vic and Pam moved in with their sons, followed by Caren and Mike, and later, Tarryn, Myles, Erica, and Grant. The entire family returned to Benoni in 1994, leaving behind a cherished family home in Zinkwazi.
