Field Stone Walls
All over the mountain are these beautiful old stone walls - the only evidence left of the sheep farming that went on here over one hundred and fifty years ago.
These stone walls were created by settlers digging rocks out of post - glacial fields. Hardscrabble farming for sure.
Most mountain farmers left for the more fertile mid-west once the sheep market bottomed out - due to the Australian sheep boom mid-19th century.
