Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 30, 2008 5:45 pm Well, after being unable to find a single Boral brick we're prepared to build with, we've decided to pay the extra and switch to Austral.
I'm wondering whether anyone has built with Austral Tan (from the Homestead range) or Austral Chocolate (from the Urban One range)??? If so, I'd be VERY grateful if you could post any pics! cheers Michelle Building in remote, regional Vic We have roof, frame, walls, plumbing, electrical....but no bricks!

Seriously though I know how you feel, we had so much trouble finding a Boral brick to suit our home, the Austral range is so much more broad. Homestead Tan is a great colour, Rellie from this site has built her home with this brick, here is the link to her blog http://rel-jase-ourhouse.blogspot.com/ I think Sharee is also using this brick - brickies about to start, her thread can be found in the Building a New Home section, its called Building Our Flagstone I think Good Luck My karma ran over your dogma Re: Anyone used Austral tan or chocolate bricks?? 4Jul 30, 2008 6:54 pm I think Alan and Thuy (Toast) are using homestead tan.

You can add us to your list. We had to upgrade to category 4 Raheen from Boral to get a brick we liked. We found at least 4 Austral bricks that we would have been happy with.

For those who managed to switch from boral bricks to Austral, can you recall whether the price for Austral was much of a step up?

Re: Anyone used Austral tan or chocolate bricks?? 8Jul 31, 2008 6:45 pm we used chocolate, check out my link. The bricks are not cleaned yet so they look a bit blah in some areas.
