Pindi Pindi Brickworks, Industrial heritage site in Pindi Pindi, Queensland, Australia.
Pindi Pindi Brickworks is an industrial facility along the Bruce Highway in North Queensland featuring several preserved structures. The site displays kilns, chimney stacks, and processing areas that document the production process for standard and refractory bricks.
The facility was established in 1933 by Edmund Evans and used local clay deposits transported via a connected tramline system for production. It quickly became an important regional industry with specialized output for local construction needs.
The brickworks supplied materials for several important buildings across the Mackay region that still shape the town's appearance today. This connection shows how local industry directly supported the community's development.
The site is located along the Bruce Highway and remains easily accessible from the road for visitors interested in industrial history. The preserved structures can be viewed from outside and offer insights into early manufacturing techniques.
The facility became the sole supplier to Queensland Railways from 1937 for refractory bricks used in locomotive fireboxes. This specialized role made it a critical partner for rail operations across the region.
