Report
Called in to the Hervey Bay to look at their blocks. Nice outside display which you can visit when closed. Most blocks, pavers have prices per unit on them and a linear metre price. The gentleman that served me was nice, friendly and helpful. I've ordered my blocks for a garden bed, due to be delivered in few days. All organised by Richers.
