More than 200 million years ago the sands of time turned to stone – sandstone, to be precise. And since that time man has used his most durable and natural material to craft monuments and statements of his age.

Sandstone buildings have stood for centuries around the world. Today we marvel at how well they’ve preserved. Many of Australia’s finest old sandstone buildings look as good today, as they did when they were first constructed. That’s because they were built with sandstone, from the Helidon region of Queensland, where Australian Sandstone Industries has its quarries.

Today, architects are rediscovering ASI’s sandstone, because of its high quality, versatility, durability and strength. Today it’s chosen to enhance the exterior and interior appearance of many large buildings and resorts around the world.
