<pre>Thanks Constantine - I do believe that they walked away with major olive oil
prizes at the Australian Olive Oil awards this year.

The south-west of Western Australia around Cowaramup is particularly beautiful
and geographically it is said to have a 'Mediterranean climate'. Olives should
do well there.

The only other place in Australia deemed to have such a 'Mediterranean climate'
is Adelaide, South Australia and the olive industry has made a couple of
abortive starts from there. Wild olives grow all over the place and many of the
Italian migrants to South Australia spent harvest seasons wandering over the
Australian bush harvesting wild olives - the locals (read anglo-saxons) thought
they were mad.
