Tips for building a rock faced berm?

Does anyone have any tips for building a berms out of rocks as like a wall ride?
I’m back on my family farm for the year and spending spare time. (Central western NSW, Australia)
I have access to plenty of large stones/rocks with smooth faces. I flipped a few large rocks over in the section of my track I couldn’t avoid. Thought some would be cool to ride on by mud packing into the shape of a berm.

I was lazy with the tractor and dumped dry dirt full of gravelly crap behind my initial structure. I also didn’t mud pack at the start as I just dry stacked the initial stones. ADHD got the better of me and I just started stacking. I then tried to fill dirt in between the rocks afterwards but feel like it’s all crap.

I’ve started to make an outer wall with stones and mud as retaining wall to add strength & structure and a base to add some final large smooth stones.

Anyway, do you reckon it’s a waste of time and I should just whack mud all over it?

Last pic is what it looked like prior to me destroying nature.
