Another garden item that I constructed recently is a "humpy". This word is used to describe the Aboriginal dwellings in the bush and does have some negative connations. This is not my intention. I have a lot of respect for the Aboriginal people - their land use, their art and culture and social structures. A highlight for me a few months ago was to visit the Kimberley region to see the Bradshaw figures and Wandjina rock art.
Construction was simply to use a sheet of concrete reinforcing steel bent into an arch to make the frame and then palm fronds, sticks, branches etc applied.
