Pindi Pindi Brickworks, Industrial heritage site in Pindi Pindi, Queensland, Australia.

The brickworks facility contains multiple structures including kilns, chimney stacks, and processing areas situated along the Bruce Highway in North Queensland.

Edmund Evans established the brickworks in 1933, employing 18 local workers who manufactured 78,000 bricks during the first year of production.

The factory supplied materials for numerous regional landmarks including the Mackay Central State School, Mackay Court House, and Mackay Technical College.

The site manufactured both standard construction bricks and specialized refractory firebricks using clay extracted from nearby deposits through a connected tramline system.

Queensland Railways contracted the facility in 1937 as their exclusive supplier of refractory firebricks for locomotive fireboxes in the region.
