Perhaps like the rest of Australians I use to buy my seeds on-line from places like Green Harvest and Eden Seeds.

I grant that they are good for certain harder to get seeds BUT I have found two other on-line seed
providers who are way cheaper in not only seeds but postage as well.
I bitterly resent being slugged $5 to $7.50 in postage when all I want is two or three different seed packetsesp. from those suppliers.

The two pr0viders I found AND have personally delt with are great.
Seeds packets are between $1 to $2.50 and shipping is free if the order is over $20.
Their selection is good and so far the germination has been very good.
Both sell open pollinated, heirloom, non-GMO, non-chemical treated seeds.

Thanks for sharing that's great info. I have bought some seeds from EBay and have had poor germination results with several lots and some must have had some mixed seeds as I didn't buy what grew.

So it's great to have someone recommend a good seed seller

No problems at all and I'm very happy to help.

Seeds are getting expensive and add postage to that and it adds up esp. when you're growing a large garden
or growing sprouts of micro-greens.

Oh...and before I forget the seeds come in small, plastic heat sealed bags.
I snip the end off to remove the seeds and if there is any seeds left I just fold the little bag
over and close it with a stapler.

make sure they are actual sprouting seeds Mataeka. Seed for sewing has an antifungal on it that is poisonous to us (even when they say it is organic).

I was wondering if that was the case - the ones on the site are listed as sprout specific seeds - I wondered when I found 3 different snow pea (same botanic name) available at 3 different prices at big W - I thought they might have been treated slightly differently

I too can vouch for both of those seed suppliers. My only beef with Boondie is the turn around; it took a lot longer for their seeds to arrive.
Both have excellent germination rates, in my experience.
