This hut was made from the
branches and trunks of wattle trees.

Firstly
holes were dug in the ground to put the upright poles in. Other branches
were woven amongst the upright poles and then mud and stones (called
daub) were filled into the gaps. |
A frame of branches was made for
the roof and straw was used to cover this frame. The windows were often
just wooden shutters to begin with before glass became more readily available.
