A mix of buildings in various states of decrepitude that I found on a recent trip through some country regions of South Australia a couple of weeks back.
Wattle and Daub construction was popular in use with early settlers in many countries as it was literally just sticks/trunks/branches stuck in the ground and then caked with mud/clay mixes with various types of aggregate in that, depending on what was available at the location of the build.
Unfortunately here in South Australia, most of these structures have not been maintained and as a result it is now becoming rarer to find any of the covering materials still on the structures or even on the sites, as it has disintegrated back to the dirt/husks/stone/leaf/fine stick of which it was originally made.
