The Fish Hoek Valley Historical Association is set to hold an illustrated talk on the Peers family, one of Fish Hoeks most famous families, at the Fish Hoek Bowling Club on Thursday, September 12, Cape {town} Etc reports.

Peers Cave was discovered and excavated by amateur archaeologist Victor Peers in 1927, which he would excavate with his son Bertie for several years.

The father and son duo were residents of Fish Hoek, and through their endeavours, they would discover and document Khoisan rock art, stone tools and an ancient burial site, as reported by the False Bay Echo .

Margaret Gundry, the speaker of the talk and a volunteer at the Fish Hoek Valley Museum, said the talk would focus more on the family than the cave.

I have always been interested in history and genealogy, said Gundry.
