Austral Bricks are celebrating 100 years of brickmaking with the launch of a meticulously compiled book – The Brickmasters 1788-2008.

The book documents the role of bricks in the building of the colony, right through to Austral Bricks contribution to the construction industry over a century.

Social and economic historian, Ron Ringer was commissioned by Austral Bricks to create this book due to his extensive experience and expertises in the field. The result is a fascinating history of Australia told through its bricks, and how they have shaped our built environment more than any other material in recorded history. After all, it was brick that laid the foundations of Australia as we know it today.

The Brickmasters can be purchased for $75 from Dymocks and major bookstores.
