Just wondering if they have it there but in different name. Will check Austral's website. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

VJ that would be fantastic. Thankyou Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: BRICK SELECTION - HEEELLLLLP! 8Apr 27, 2008 6:49 pm Unfortunately, I don't think it's available in Sydney.
Oh, I remember, it's part of the Melbourne Series bricks... so it's only available in Melbourne? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping!

Oh, I remember, it's part of the Melbourne Series bricks... so it's only available in Melbourne? VJ, kind thanks. I must admit I've seen beautiful bricks on Vic brick websites. The colours seem to be somehow different - classier. Must be the clays you guys have down there.

What???? How bad is that! Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: BRICK SELECTION - HEEELLLLLP! 11Apr 27, 2008 7:10 pm My suggestion would be I think you should check out Austral Mahogany... if you like VJ's bricks i think you'll like Mahogany.
We were going to go with Mahogany (have since changed builder and house so have gone for a lighter brick now). We weren't sure when we saw them close up, but when you see the finished house they look pretty good. I've got a couple of photos of finished houses in Mahogany will try and post them.

I'm not sure, Mish. But.. considering that they named it Melbourne series..

Thanks bb, will definitely check it out - looks great on the computer. Would be greaet if you could manage to send the photos Much appreciated. Normally, I'd have a sounding board, but DH has been o/seas for 4 weeks & will be gone again for 4 months after a quick trip home shortly. The pressure of getting this right, is getting to me Never mind - it will get better, I'm sure & this forum is just what I need. Geez, what a sob story Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: BRICK SELECTION - HEEELLLLLP! 14Apr 27, 2008 7:41 pm I am exactly stuck as you are!!!!!!!!!
Have a look at my post" Wouldnt it be nice if the world were chocolate? https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=6446 Second picture is Mahogany. I really like it too. Was going to have windows in Dune. Let me know what you think Raz If you think you can, you can. Re: BRICK SELECTION - HEEELLLLLP! 15Apr 27, 2008 7:45 pm I've got a few photos of bricks uploaded here... including a house in mahogany (second photo) see what you think.

Was going to have windows in Dune. Let me know what you think Raz Gee, you're quick, I was just going to reply to your post !! I love both, but if you want a crisp clean look then go with the 1st one. I think for our style of house I'd consider the 1st one - pgh. Built the Eden Brae Cambridge 34 Family with Boston Corner Facade Re: BRICK SELECTION - HEEELLLLLP! 18Apr 27, 2008 8:08 pm Hi
The photos were sent to my by a friend. I think the first house was for sale a while ago. Oops not sure if I should put these photos up without permission from current owner. Oh oh!! Didnt think v hard about this!! Hope Im not guilty of some major wrongdoing!!!! Raz If you think you can, you can. Re: BRICK SELECTION - HEEELLLLLP! 19Apr 27, 2008 10:13 pm Because you have cladding to the upper area (which I suppose is a light coloured one) of your house, dark-coloured bricks would look great.
Based on those photos, those two bricks look great (Mahogany and PGH). But again, it would be better to see a house in flesh with those bricks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Built the Nevada 42 Next project - landscaping! Re: BRICK SELECTION - HEEELLLLLP! 20Apr 27, 2008 10:37 pm Thankyou all (particularly VJ & Raz) for your so very helpful comments I feel rather less stressed. Will check out both the pgh & mahogany bricks next weekend & get a list of built houses in same.
