Bunnings at Minchinbury has stock of these Saxon $25 Wheelbarrows. They look like old clearance stock as the parts are dusty and a lot of the boxes are damaged.
Not sure if this special is at other Bunnings stores.
For everyday gardening the wheelbarrow looks good.
Specs:
85 Litres
Polyethlene Try

Edit Minchinbury not Mt Druitt.
I just rang up my local bunnings but they didn't have any. They only had the 100L one for $99.
Dude they're ripping you off with that quote. Their website says the 100L is $49.98!

These were an old "special" from last year.
The quality is really bad, wobbly and frail. Might be OK as a gardening wheelbarrow, if you've never experienced a decent one.
Well, this is Mount Druitt. For carrying the body 20 metres from the boot of the car to the freshly dug hole this is probably okay.
Lol I thought that applied to Blacktown
Either or. If you live in Blacktown you could always use it for carting around your glassware and packets of Sudafed.
really bad, wobbly and frail.
While not tradesmen quality i.e. dont think filling it up with rocks it would last overly long as the bottom is not re-enforced. I found that it was a great buy and handles soil and much with ease even on a hill.
Mt Druitt or Michinbury?
Yes Michinbury. Get confused because its right next to Mt Druitt.
I bought one a yr ago for $30
Ok for gardening
What a weely good deal
I want one, do you have any money I could barrow?
I'm sure these are good for dry leaves, loose foam and one or two punnets of Petunias.
Better off investing in a proper metal one. Will last you years and years and wont crack until load.
Hmm, I've got the same one that I purchased nearly three years ago and it's spent it's entire life outside in the sun just under an eave. No signs of cracking and is in pretty good condition considering.
I prefer poly tubs as I got fed up with cheap metal ones rusting or more expensive metal barrows getting scratched up and then rusting.
I got a decent CAT or black and yellow branded one.
A few dents and holes in the metal and they start to rust, gives me the shits.
However at least they wheels are pretty standard so if you get a puncture in the tyre it is cheap to replace.
I might have a look this arvo at Mentone if they have this deal going as well.
I bought one of these about a year ago. Must've greatly overloaded it with dirt because I killed the front axle on the second use. Wasn't too bad of a product, but definitely handle with care.
It was replaced with one of the $99 metal ones from Bunnings and has been going strong since.
I got one of these at the Cranbourne Vic Bunnings about year ago for same clearance price, just make sure you check the accessories boxes as I found quite a few had missing parts. i.e. front axle.
