As I traveled around researched for this blog, I came across lots of different bricks from makers all over the place. Here are some of the photo's collected over the course of this research. Any comments or news about them would be appreciated. Some of these pictures came from another blog on bricks, "Collecting Australian Bricks" but most are mine.
