> there are probably hundreds of small non commercial, ie private use,
> olive groves some dating back 70 or 80 years, maybe more.  I have seen

> in very low rainfall areas, and along the edges of the Swan River,
> here in Perth, in neat rows. Someone, years ago, probably had a market
> garden or vineyard and they are all that is left.
