hi brick
well over here you would be in a class of your own as in some areas there are not many brickies and with all of the building going on they are in great demand. i was told that a good brickie can earn up to AUD$600 per 1000 bricks and as the average house takes quite a few then in one day you could earn a lot even after paying your taxes.
chester sparkies are also in demand and they can earn up to AUD$65+ per hour.
dont know how much this would be in your money but its good money here but only the best can get this type of money.
cheers smokey
