I Found A Historic Dry Stone Wall In Australia! (Sunbury, Victoria)
In this video I was on a walk down by a local creek here in Australia and stumbled on this absolute gem of a dry stone wall.
For anyone local it’s near the Nook Sunbury.

For anyone interested in reading the sign I have copied it up below.
HISTORIC DRY STONE WALL
Goonawarra vineyard was established in 1858 (64??) by the hon. James Goodall Francis former chief secretary and premier of Victoria.
Dry stone retaining walls were built to form terraces upon which the original Goonawarra grape vines were grown.
The vineyard covered nearly 37 acres fronting to the macedon river, commonly known as Jackson’s creek and along to the nearby homestead and winery.
The ground was originally rocky spurs of the mount macedon range and the formation cost of some parts of the vineyard were as much as one hundred pounds per acre.
This section of the wall is that remains intact. If you observe each end of this section you will notice the wall continued for some distance in either direction forming what was originally a long terrace, that supported some of the grape vines.
The former vineyard was believed to have yielded 350 gallons of wine per acre.
This section of wall, as part of the original Goonawarra vineyard, is of significant historical value and has been preserved by the city of Hume.

    Hi Tom, What would you say the ideal width at the top of the wall should be for the the copers to sit on? I know you are so good you can eye ball but I would struggle to determine how wide the bottom and the top should be. Many thanks.

    • @DryStoneTom
      @DryStoneTom Před 4 měsíci

      Depending on the size of the stone but it’s usually half as wide as the base. If you are using smaller regular stone then 700mm by 350mm or larger chunky stuff you can go 800mm by 400mm just try take an average looking at the stones you are going to use to top the wall and base it on that
