Eltham mudbrick tour

The annual Eltham Mudbrick Tour held  each October is on again for 2014.  This project raises funding for the Eltham High School Music program.

This year’s tour will include Alistair Knox’s own home in King Street, and the home of Tim and Betty Burstall which was built not long after WW2. It also includes another couple of mudbrick homes in the vicinity of the Burstalls’ home that were built around the same time. One of them belongs to writer Morag Fraser and philosopher Frank Jackson. This one has an extraordinary extension designed by Macgregor Knox.

Sunday 19th October 10.00 am – 4.00 pm

A regular shuttle service will operate from Montsalvat 7 Hillcrest Avenue, Eltham throughout the day.

Eltham mudbrick houses

The Eltham Mudbrick Tour is becoming an annual institution in Eltham operating each October, organised as a fundraiser by the Eltham High School Music Program. It was recently promoted as world class architecture in design and construction.     In 2012 Eltham Library featured as part of the tour.  Basic Illustrated booklets have been produced to accompany tour participants as they tour the builidings and they provide (unsourced) descriptions of the houses and their histories. 

Eltham’s local history collection now holds these guides for the last three years.  Some loan copies are also available.
