Possibly an Aussie,but more likely a South Africkan ?

HOi! Less of the dig at South Africans. We moan less than the Brits and can talk about other things apart from the weather and flies!

I haven't seen olive prices advertised anywhere yet. However you get a better price if your olives re picked off he trees instead of scraped off the floor.

All things are relative so value depends on number of trees you have.Sometimes it turns out more profitable to just go for the olive oil option for personal use and flog off surplus to tourist or neighbours.

You wont get rich on farming here or elsewhere  in Europe unless you are tied into government subsidies.

Aside: I bet you have never seen so many sizes and types of flies before?
