Colac brickworks

Colac brickworks was commenced by Messrs. Henry Thompson and Sons who had been operating in Tocumwal and other Riverina towns. They moved their extensive brickmaking plant to Colac in 1931. The works had an output of 90,000 bricks a week. 

In the 1950s a new company was established as the Colac Brick Co Ltd with its registered office at 108 Murray" street Colac. It installed a modern tunnel kiln. This works was located near Barongarook Creek but it is not known if it is the same as Thompson's earlier works. The company was deregistered in 1976.
