Take a sledge hammer and go visit Redcliffe of a night time when it is low tide...

You might come accross some...  8)

you could always try an aquarium shop  :D
but if you dont want to pay for them red cliff is the place to go

hey cordial, i got mine from H20 Babies in ipswich on the mian street, some nice pieces and not too expensive either

If I get some lava rock from Redcliffe, how would I treat it for an aquarium? (especially knowing they used to pump raw sewage into the bay from there, about 15 yrs ago)
In the past I've boiled all my rocks (like granite for example), prior to placing them in any aquarium, just to sterilise any nasties residing on the rock.
Wouldn't lava rock, being more porous, possibly dissolve to some extent if I boiled it?

ya u can boil it then drain off the water and do it again just to be realy safe
