Steve,

I think Stan Kailis sums up our situation pretty well when he says that there
has not been much help from government agencies in helping the olive industry (
third try) in Australia. He also highlights the point that olive nurseries
have taken the lead in educating new growers. Full marks to Olives Australia
for their role in hand-holding newbies to the industry in Australia.

With the assistance of the olive discussion group we have a better chance of
getting it right and learn quickly from any mistakes previously made.

Regards,

Phil Bramley
