Hi Punchy,
I've never tried it, but your best bet is probably a stock feeders in the closest town or chat the the local shop owner,transport Co or even hardware.
really anyone who gets stuff delivered regularly ;-)

You can beer malts through craft brewer. But for our use for distilling feed grain is just fine. Most little towns have a feed grain merchant, stock and station store, co-op or a seed graders.

Try contacting a "Local" on these here forums and ask nicely (chuck in some $$) and see if they could help collecting and organising the shipping to you ???
Just a thought :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Most here seem friendly :dance:

Yeah that sounds like the same scenario they're talking about from Marandoo mine, giving the excess water to Tom Price...... Funny they dont mention what it's going to do to the water table in Karijini :angry-banghead:

Bout the only thing that grows in the Pilbara is red rocks & spinifex :))
