Mini Story or Hook:

Before LEGO arrived in every lounge room, Aussie kids were busy building their imaginations with Bilda-Brix—Australia’s answer to creative play in the 1960s. Manufactured by G.W. Murdoch, this clever interlocking brick system sparked generations of miniature architects. With 474 pieces and three original instruction booklets (including one titled More to Build with Bilda-Brix No. 2), this set is perfect for nostalgic collectors or retro toy enthusiasts.
