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 :D)

Cheers Phil

A chap was fishing for interest to sell on the facebook group, yesterday. Search emerald and coal.

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.........

Still worth ringing the Coke Works. In Townsville, 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.
