I usualy pick it up at the Sydney, Newcastle and Peters (at Taree) wood shows but this year Newcastle didn't happen and I didn't make it to Taree. Its great paper and a good price.
Thank you Michael

Yes they are quite switched on with their delivery. A couple of years ago I got too enthusiastic sanding a box top and sanded right through the inlay I had inserted, anyway when I got to my computer at 1530 on a Thursday afternoon I ordered a replacement and a few others to make up the minimum order. Now I know they use the overnight service but I have read the small print on the guaranteed next day delivery and it is only for metropolitan areas and Australia Post considers the Capitol City as rural NSW , So I thought OK I'll watch out for it in Tuesday's Post so imagine my surprise when it was in the post the postie put in my hand when he pulled up next to me as I was coming home from walking the dog at 0810 the next morning. I couldn't have gone and fetched it any quicker. I have since read the rest of the small print and it says the overnight applies if you are in the same rural area.

Thats pretty good when he is in Dungog which is almost an hour and a half out of
Newcastle so also well and truely rural.
