Does anyone know where I can purchase the Gossamer (twin pack, 1 mtr x 2.4 mtr) light ground sheet in Australia. The website in America charges a huge shipping cost.

Have you tried sending them a message? In my experience several cottage manufacturers will ship smaller stuff in normal letters (if you agree to take over the risk of uninsured mail.

Thanks, I have now done that, they said they would be soon opening an outlet in Australia, so I will wait.

Thanks for the offer, but will wait for their agent to open here in Australia. I wanted to buy new rather than second hand.

Have a chat with Simon at TierGear, I'm sure he could point you in the right direction. Ordered a length of 30denier silnylon for the very same purpose.

Just found out Amazon sell the plain white 43gsm tyvek, that's 2/3 the weight of the usual home wrap (at about 65gsm from memory). A 5x1.5m piece will cost AUD 40 shipped. It's not polycro light but still pretty good.

Weird indeed 1 yard = 0.9144m, 1 oz = 28.5 grams....
1.8 oz/yd2 = 28.5*1.8/(0.9144^2) = 61 g/m2
I tried google but couldn't get it to give me an answer (usually have better luck with wolframalpha) so I did it the long way above.

My apologies - I was accidentally calculating the linear measurement.

Yes, thank you. Thinking about their other items.
