Mick, you're going to need to add a lot of manure and compost and if you can get it, bentonite clay (or Richgro's Sand to Soil). The soil in Perth is very, very sandy compared to anything in Queensland and you'll need to build it up a bit. As for nurseries, most Bunnings have a decent selection. Dawson's as well. And there's always someone selling homegrown starter plants at the Canning Vale markets on a Sunday.
