This garden wall was broken down by a vehicles crashing into it. I was interested in the way the bricklayers have made the turn.

Brick Lane has a regular display of graffiti, which features artists such as Banksy, Stik, ROA, D*Face and Ben Eine. The lane has been used in many music videos such as "Glory Days" by Just Jack and "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers.

An interestingly crumbling brick wall contrasting with its modern metal roller door. I also liked the antique ventilation thingy inset into the brick, as well as the attempts to repair the wall.
A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. They are still being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load bearing structures. Down the ages, there have been various interesting historic and cultural references to bricks.
Brick kiln labourers form a large portion of workers in the informal sector in India. Workers, who are usually from the poorest sections of Indian society, are recruited against a loan by labour contractor or employer, which they have to repay by working for them. However, as they lose control over the debt and cannot leave until the employer decides when it’s paid off, they cannot realistically leave the ‘employment’. They are bonded labours.
The working and living conditions are sometimes extremely harsh. As workers usually live within the kiln, there are high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, burnt plastic and dust. Workers, including children, are frequently injured at work. The average working day consists of 15-16 hours and the great majority of children do not attend school or have any play time. The accommodation is usually overcrowded, commonly with several families living together in one single room, with outdoor toilets.
Kiln workers have little or no knowledge of their basic rights, entitlements and bonded labour prohibitions. Being from the most vulnerable segments of society and lacking organisation, bonded labourers remain “invisible” to the authorities.
On Christmas Eve 2021, 4112s (ARTC ballast hopper transfer) is seen passing the silos at Nantawarra (SA) with 1rail locomotive 2207 in charge of 21 AHWX’s & 2 AZZX’s bound for Dry Creek North.
Since GWA retired Alco’s 701 & 703 in December 2015, mainline duties for the 22 class have been rare, the fleet are mainly used on shunt duties in various yards in SA, NT or NSW, sometimes appearing on work trains, being hauled on AD1/DA2 (before/after workshop attention) or the very occasional grain working.
As of December 2021, 2207 is based at Spencer Junction, 2210 in the Adelaide metro area, 2212 in Darwin, 2214 in Port Pirie & 2216 is based in NSW (soon to be relocated to SA during 2022). Watco owns HL203 (ex 42203) & FL220 (42220) with the other 13 members of the 422 class either stored or scrapped. Time will tell if any members of Australia’s first diesel ‘boxes’ will be preserved.
