Yeah it looks like Privet, and if it is that shouldn't take too long!

Hi Handy Mick ,
I am down in the Shoalhaven and have been looking for Privet myself.Apparently the local council did a massive clean out a few years back,so not much around or any i can find.
Would like to go for a dig to.
Thanks John :whistle:
