collecting in/around Sydney..

Hey all,
just wondering if there is anywhere in/around Sydney where one can collect olives and or hawthorns??

If anyone is organising a yamadori hunt for olices in Sydney then i am in... Sadly i have no contacts or experience in this area but have tools and would love a nice big olive to work on in my collection

Go down around Camden there are millions of them down there ,like weeds along the side of the road , I am sure if you introduced yourself to a property owner down there they would not mind you having a dig, I know the School of Bonsai has an annual dig on a members property down that way but I think you have missed it this year.
