we went to do our colour selection today at the builders place, and as I suspected all along, there was only 5 bricks we could choose from, and let's face it - they weren't the type of brick you'd often find in Canterbury!!! But, that's because we are building in Tarneit of course!!! So the only two bricks my husband and I could tolerate were the Austral Red Gum and Tan, see below... I'd really love to hear from anyone with an opinion as to which to go with, what colour cement too (if you thinks that will make a difference). We really wanted black windows/Doors/Roof if possible, for simplicity - no luscious timbers here unfortunately! If you know of any pics of these types of bricks/colours around, I'd love to see them too... thanks guys, Annie Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ A thankful person is a happy person.

Rellie from this forum has used it on her completed house - she has pics on her blog that you could look at. I think it will go with anything My karma ran over your dogma Re: House bricks austral Red Gum or Tan?

I am currently building with Austral RED Gum, with grey window/gutter/pipe/roof.. here is some pic for your reference I wasn't confident when i first chose it, but now it turned out quite good, and love it...

Help pls... 7Jan 27, 2009 9:12 pm OMG, now I'm stuffed, I love both Rellie and Claego's bricks, at least I know we don't need to spend a cent on a brick upgrade. They look fantastic, I suppose I might prefer the RG a tad more, we were hoping to go with Black windows etc... I wish Austral put out more photos of their stock - you would think they would!
Such a hard decision! Thanks guys Annie A thankful person is a happy person.
