Hi Silverss,
Welcome! I don't think they do. I think you will find they only stock a limited supply of black flat bar and maybe some angle. The only round stock they sell is all thread in various sizes. If you live nearby then I'd still give them a try. Also the price you pay for a 1.8M length will be the same price you pay at a steel merchant for a full length.
Good luck. Nothing worse than having time to spend on a project but not have the materials!

Hi silverss,
I have bought 6mm and 12mm there so I guess they would. Can't say I have seen it but wasn't looking for it either. If I remember correctly it was in the pool fence section.

Steel
Greetings chaps, I have bought steel at Bunnings but it varies from store to store The larger outlets have a bigger range. I found some bright mild 1/4 by 1/2 inch at Sunsine but not at Altona. Yours 4-6-4
