Question Metal suppliers Sydney area

Hi all, not strictly telescope ATM related (although it could be in the near future), but wondering if anyone knows of any home/hobby friendly metal suppliers in the Sydney area. Specifically after mild steel angle iron, flat bar, channel for some mods I'm going to do on a camper trailer. Does anyone know if Blackwoods accomodates that sort of thing ?

Adam,

Have a look at Metaland. They have an outlet at Penrith and I find their offcut bin to be a great source of goodies.

Cheers

I get all my steel bar/plate/shaft etc alumimium and brass same from the steel store in Binney Rd Marayong. They have off cuts and will also cut to size. You can browse through their supermarket.

I get my metal supplies from Edcon. Several stores around Sydney.
Good range of stock, will cut to size.
