\n(adjacent to the PomboMart at Pom
borneit\, Princes Highway between Colac and Camperdown).
Experienc ed local waller\, Alistair Tune\, will run the gapping workshop. It is fr ee and anyone can come to participate or just watch.
\nAlistair wil l provide hands-on advice to wall owners\, and people who like to help the m\, to gain the basic skills to maintain and repair the gaps in their dry stone walls.
\nLeaflets will be available for those attending\, c ontaining tips on looking after dry stone walls.
\nPresident of the DSWAA\, Jim Holdsworth\, said ‘Dry stone walls are strong and durable but\ , like any man-made structure\, occasional maintenance is critical to thei r longevity. Our aims are to encourage and help wall owners to look after their dry stone walls.’
\n‘The Stoney Rises are unique in Australia for the number of dry stone walls and the story they tell about the volcan ic geology of Western Victoria. The walls give the landscape a special qu ality that must be preserved’.
\nDry stone walls fall into disrepa ir for various reasons. Stock\, trees\, kangaroos\, ground movement and v andalism are just a few causes. If a wall remains unrepaired\, it continu es to deteriorate\, potentially allowing stock to escape and a loss in the aesthetic and heritage value. Poorly maintained walls can also decrease the value of the land asset.
\nThe Dry Stone Walls Association is ke en to support wall owners to recognize the first signs of wall deteriorati on and develop the skills to carry out maintenance on their walls.
\nBackground
\nThe skill of dry stone walling came to Australia in the
mid 1800s\, mostly from Great Britain. The first settlers on the land rec
ognised the opportunity to use the stone that lay freely on the land acros
s the landscape of south-west Victoria. Many thousands of kilometres of w
alls were built to define boundaries and contain stock. Most of the walls
that were built from that period through to the mid 1900s stand as a fine
testament to the skills of the original wallers.
Many of the very early dry stone walls in Great Britain are in good condition today becaus e wall owners allocate time to inspect and repair their walls during autum n-winter when normal farming activity is lower. This maintains the functi onal effectiveness of walls and ensures their retention as a valuable part of the community heritage of the area.
