Sydney’s median house price has finally topped $1 million, making it more expensive than London and driving a boom that has led to a shortfall of tradesmen. “The worst trade is bricklayers,” says Sydney housing developer Peter Icklow. “We were offering them $1 a brick, then it went up to $1.50. NOW it’s Up to $1.80 Or they go elsewhere. ” News p3, Property p33 PHOTO: LOUISE KENNERLEY
