2022 Mudbrick Tour
We regret that the 2022 Eltham Mudbrick Tour is cancelled due to the prolonged impact of COVID-19 on our ability to plan and run the tour.
A tour with a brand-new format is in the planning and will run around March 2023. We look forward to showing mudbrick homes to you again then.

Eltham Mudbrick Tour
Join the Nillumbik Mudbrick Association live online as they explore five unique mudbrick houses and host a special Q&A session with each of the home owners in this year’s Mudbrick Tour.
During the Tour you will discover more than half a century’s worth of experimentation, design and construction – and the importance of Nillumbik Shire’s earth building heritage in the Australian alternative and sustainable housing movement.
The Tour maintains a 50+ year annual tradition pioneered by legendary mudbrick house architect and builder Alistair Knox. This year it is proudly run by volunteers from Nillumbik’s very own Mudbrick Association, with Nillumbik Shire Council as the major sponsor.
