Ok so I know where it comes from!
I am about 20 kms from Tullamarine airport and trying to find somewhere I can buy animal manure in bulk quantities. Preferably sheep.

I have already put 1 cubic metre of mushroom compost into a large garden bed I am preparing and can use at least another cubic metre of animal manure (large trailer load).

Anyone - please help.

Lots of racehorse stables around your way. I would contact one personally and see if you can take the trailer in there and load it up.

Find a friendly sheep farmer and clean out under the woolshed!

Here in Bathurst NSW we have a livestock sales place where they auction off cattle & sheep all the yards are cleaned out into nearby paddocks into heaps & people are allowed to go & help themselves it is a part of the local council maybe check where your nearest salesyards are worth a try

Alpaca poo is very good and can be used straight away unlike sheep poo. Check out any alpaca breeder to see if you can collect the poo. The advantage of 'paca poo is that they all poo in the same pile so it is easy to collect.
