Those Dry-Stone Walls | Revisited

This second edition is about the further journey that took us to new places in South Australia as well as back to the old where often things are now different. In particular we have ventured further into the rangelands of SA where early pastoralists built with literally the only material locally available: stone. It is again about the people we met as we travelled, about the tales they shared with us and the leads they gave us. But perhaps, more than anything else, it is about the value people attach to their unique heritage.

Now wiser and more experienced I finish this edition with a much meatier chapter on how to build these dry-stone walls and structures. Still written by a mere enthusiastic amateur, I hope it will inspire other amateurs to build something beautiful and safe with nothing but rocks.
