All great ideas and feedback.

It looks like I will have to go with a 100mm x 100mm hardwood square post. They only have 75x100 which using 4 makes an odd shape and the 100 x 100 is only 2.4m, I need around 50cm of pier and 1m in the ground meaning I cant use 1 to make 2 posts. If I did total would be 1.2m long leaving 70cm in ground, this may be OK I guess now that I think of it.

The cost of the pier, not how I put it in ground.
42.50 for the Hardwood
Free for sleepers as I already have some, but about $4 cost.
about $20 or so for threaded rod and stuff.

Not bad if you ask me, I thought of around $40 total is around $65-$70

If I were to go for a single 100x100 cost is about $40, this would be fine for an EQ3 perhaps.
