Hi there
I’ve also seen the sleepers for sale that you mention. My thinking was that at some stage they must’ve been treated to keep white ants at bay for all those years???

There are still stacks of heritage railway sleepers besides the line at the Yass Service Centre besides the Hume Highway. There used to be a ‘For Sale’ sign there with a mobile phone number. If you take the drive out, I hope that the sign with the mobile number is there still.

I bought untreated red gum sleepers from Bunnings at the start of this year. They are untreated and look great.
