The Heart of Bricklaying

Heart Convict Brick from Lithgow, NSW, Australia

Trying to keep our industry alive one brick at a time, day by day, hour by hour under the hot sun in Australia. Its a hard trade, and it can be rewarding one.

Some of those rewards are being able to build your own home, do your own landscaping, provide for your family.

Bricklayers are one of the most techniquely skilled tradesmen. Did you know they used to tile roofs and lay the pipes for plumbing back in the day?

This fence is a tribute to bricklayers in the trade, thanks for all your hard work, thanks for passing on the trade, for building Australia. Though you might feel like throwing the trowel, lets not give up lets keep building Australia.
