Where to get red sand in vic (bulk) 100kg

[mis_gmh]

I am trying to find some bulk red sand as i am building a very large monitor enclosure and i need around 100kg. I have looked at bunnings and art and garden places and they only seem to have plain sandpit sand and building sand.

I dont realy wana have to buy from a pet shop cos it will cost me a fortune.

I am willing to travel around vic to get it.

please help!!

kind regards
laura

Vic? no idea........ WA.. drive north for a few hours stick shovel into ground and raise, turn shovel over trailer... repeat process until required amount is in trailer...
Sorry just bragging that we have red sand since we can't keep most the native reptiles that are available outside WA!

use sifted playsand. silicia free.
the red dune sand you buy is calcium based, eg. a natural form of the dangerous calci-sand. not a good idea.

I need something that clumps well and holds it self when wet as he is a crazy digger. lol
