Gravel needed
I am a bit of a woman possessed at the moment. The cleaning up bug has well and truly bitten. It's just that now I think I'm a bit stuck for sorting things outside. I think I have to start on the garage so that I can put the "keep" things away, instead of moving from this pile to that pile. I just want to make one pile, which is going to the tip!
Anyway, to get started on the garage, I need to fix up the lean to behind the garage. Its a dodgy shed like thing with a gravel floor (its built over storm water pipes or something), except that there's not much gravel and the floor is damp a lot. So I want to put down some more gravel (and a few pavers for bicycle stands to rest on), so there is somewhere to stash our bikes.
The actual point to this thread, does anyone know where I may be able to get cheap gravel from? Does anyone think I should give the tip a try?
Thanks!

Where abouts are u hun? DF overestimated by about 3/4 of a meter and its sitting in the middle of my driveway! we're putting some under the clothes line but there'll be stacks left.
FWIW it was $80 delivered

thats a bugger, probably would work out about the same price to drive out here to pick it up!
are there any new housing estates near by? sometimes builders over order and have a heap left over, doesnt hurt to ask

Ooh, hadn't thought of that! Thank you so much for the thought though.

we got our driveway gravel, aka road base from the tip was only 10 bucks a tonne as its all recycled concrete..

Cool, thanks Kawazuki! The Man reckons we don't need gravel there (where I said behind the garage), because the drain under the back corner of the garage is stuffed, and its always damp out there. I don't think it could hurt.
