What are Convict Bricks?
Renowned for their distinctive indentations known as "frogs," convict bricks were essential building materials in early Australia.
The frogs served both a practical purpose in bricklaying and as a subtle identifier for the convict who made them. While the iconic broad arrow is often associated with convict-made bricks, our reproduction range also features a variety of other authentic frog designs.

Our reproduction convict bricks can be used in countless ways to enhance your property:

- Decorative Accent: The plain side of the brick offers a beautiful, handmade finish for a less decorative look.
