In our case, it was the Police who suggested that that because we had soil "stolen" that we could involve them. I'm so glad it didn't come to that.
The…

Hi SG, thanks for the reply. We are south (near Bullcreek).

Hiya.
I need to get quotes on supply and installation of roughly 30 metres of Colourbond/Good Neighbour or similar fencing. I've left voice messages and emails with several companies but had…

Thanks onc. Great advice re the slip risk too.

Thank you guys!
