Geo Brick reflects the owners' love of the
Australian bush and passionate concerns about global warming.
The Company's quarries and brickworks sit
astride Puzzle Flat reef in the historic goldfields of Central
Victoria, at Bealiba, not far from Dunolly. Here, in 1857,
Australia's largest gold nugget was discovered - the Welcome
Stranger.
"For years we've wanted to make
an environmentally friendly brick, and one which captures
the subtle colours of the clays here - soft ochres, grey-pinks,
mauves, grey-greens and straw - the colours you see in
the old gold country here and which is reflected in the
trees and wildflowers of the district and all over Australia."
The Company backs up its environmental concerns
by an extensive re-afforestation program on all its quarry
sites.
"We want to lead the way. I hope
we can make a significant contribution to a more sustainable
future, and provide Australian suburbs and townscapes with
attractive dwellings which blend naturally and beautifully
with our natural environment."
