Redgum sleepers cheap?

Anyone know where I can get some 200x50x2.4/2.7 redgum sleepers for a reasonable price? Melbourne, SE burbs? Looked at Bunnings and they are robbers $22 each.

Haven't looked around yet, just hoping someone could save me some running. Redgum and treated pine used to be the same price, pine is the same, redgum has doubled! :evil:

You think that's expensive???
Quality hardwood is getting *very* hard to get. I expect it will continue to rise in price whereas treated pine will be more stable in price.
