The pisé (pisé de terre or rammed earth) method of construction was introduced into the Tuggeranong region by Eusebio Ponsey, a South American, in 1874. The method was well suited to the south-east Australian climatic conditions and used mud, which was cheap and readily available to early settlers. 2, record 2, English, - pis%C3%A9
