Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia

As Bruce Munday said in his book; Those Dry-Stone Walls;

The Kanmantoo System is a band of schist outcropping across the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges from about Wistow through Harrogate, Tunkillo, Springton and Keyneton to Truro. … One-hundred-and-fifty years ago much of this stone was used to build the first dwellings, sheds and fences throughout the district, simultaneously providing shelter and containment whilst clearing the land of some of the obstacles to farming. Many of the structures are still in use today, providing enduring insights to lives of the early settlers and at the same time displaying the marvellous stone architecture that so characterises much of South Australia.
