Summary

Captain Sturt's house at Grange. 1965 while the house is being restored. Captain Charles Napier Sturt (1795-1869) was a British explorer of Australia and part of the European exploration of Australia. He led several expeditions into the interior of the continent starting from both Sydney and Adelaide. This photograph shows the method of building at that time - wattle and daub. The woven lattice of wooden strips called wattle is daubed with a sticky material usually made of some combination of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung and straw.
