Seventeen Mile Rocks QLD 4073, Australia

We got 5m3 soil delivered and need to move it to the backyard. It's a bit of a slope and has steps so the wheelbarrow will need to navigate up a couple of ramps. We need a strong human or 2 to help us so it doesn't take all weekend! (The picture also includes 2m3 of mulch that doesn't have to travel very far so ignore that!) Happy to negotiate on price depending on # people, time etc.
