    Hi Colle,

    The closer you can drive to the mallee the cheaper they will be. Grew up in swan hill prior to moving to Melb. The local footy clubs used to do a good trade in mallee roots as fund raisers. Not many places sell mallee roots as they are hard to source, which is why the footy clubs would be a good place to start. Woorinen FC Lake Boga FC Tyntynder FC to name a few.
    In my time I have seen $$$$ pushed into a pile and burned, farmers couldn't get anything for them so they had to get rid of them. My best one was a D9 pushed up a pile as big as a house burned for what seemed like a fortnight.

    I got some mallee root from these guys quite a few years ago. The supplies of mallee root were getting scarce then, so I don't like your chances.
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.
