I remember some time ago I saw some pic's of a Privet dig in the Gosford (NSW) area some years back (MANY, many years back). The Privets had all been dug from a cow paddock and were absolutely magnificent. Most of them were really, very old trees and were to die for. Hopefully yours will be the same. Remember, first dig item into the car = camera, then spades, saws and etc, but the camera must be first. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

So are you going North, South or West?

Hey Mate,

I'd be keen to go on a dig if you are not too far away. Please PM me so I know where it is that you are going? Will have to decide from there.

Cheers,

Gav
