Q. Where is this?

A. Far North Queensland, Australia.

Q.What stops the rain from washing the mud off the hut walls?

A. The roof. You’ll notice the eves of the roof extend out from the walls- this keeps the walls dry.

Q. What dangerous animals are there?

A. Only venomous snakes and I need to watch where I step. Crocodiles don’t live where I build these huts and there are no large land predators in the bush here (that I’m aware of).

Q. How do I know what good clay is?

A. Look in creek banks and under top soil. Wet some and roll it into a coil as thick as a pencil then wrap it round a finger. If it doesn’t completely break apart then it’s suitable.

Q. How do you keep mosquitoes away?

A. Smokey fire tends to keep them away especially inside a dwelling.
