Coal or coke supply
Im looking for coal, (preferably) or coke, (not so much) in the Townsville Q. area. Just in small quantities, (10-20kgs would be sufficient for now) for backyard/hobby use.
Can anyone point me somewhere, (politely )
Cheers Phil

Phil, you can buy coal and coke in various particle sizes and quantities from the cokeworks in Bowen. I would not leave it too long though as they have decided to close the plant. I dont know where I will get my supplies from in the future with road freight getting out of control.

Thanks Crocy,
I have been to see my local farm supply place and they can get coal from "down south", but minimum order is $300 worth. Still waiting to find out how much you get for $300 and what sort of "coal it actually is.
As a matter of interest how far "north" are you?
Andrew not sure what Im doing wrong but I cant find anything recent for Emerald and Coal on Facebook. Best I can get is something from 2012 local council news.........
Cheers Phil

Hi 12bolts,
Sorry I wasn't more specific, the facebook group is 'Australian Blacksmiths, Bladesmiths and Knifemakers Network'. A search in that group using 'emerald' and 'coal' hopeful comes up with the chaps post of July 9 at 10:01am.
regs,
