Pavers over sand is an option. At the end of the season they are often more reasonably priced. Another option is wood slices. If you know of any downed trees they can be cut into slabs of the same/close width and settled into a sand base. Cutting the branches similarly allows you to fill in spaces between the bigger slabs.
Pavestones surrounds by gravel is a cheap option for a nice seating area
Thank you everyone. Maybe my option is to look for some pavers and surround with some ground cover. Some of the plants mentioned I have not heard of, so a bit of research to see if they are sold in Australia.
You can use mulch. Will have to add some new next year. Pretty inexpensive.
I have seen it used this way. Cedar mulch is little bit more, but does not break down as fast. I use it in my gardens as it lasts a few years.
