Fremantle stone pointing - The real mix

Today I went down to Freo again in search of my happy place again.  I discovered amongst all the bastardry some original pointing.

Notice the mortar is matched nearly to the stone. Its very simply struck but it looks great. Notice its aged together really well. The peach loam soil mixed with it would increase the strength of the mortar

This is like art to me.  Mixing this correct is no easy feat..

Wish I was there in the time they did it; well, for a week.
