Default Sandstone rubble for raised native beds.

I've always wanted to try the sandstone rubble technique for growing
natives which has seemed so successful for Don Burke.

Basic idea is to mound sandstone rubble to 1m add 10 cm compost with 10
cm mulch. Plant natives directly into sandstone and stand back.
So to do this I need to source cheap sandstone rubble. Apparently you
can get it cheap from quarries as it isn't very useful for any thing
else.
I'm in Sydney north west. Anyone had a go at this? Where do you get the
sandstone?
