[permaculture-oceania] rare vegetables

[Harry Wykman]

Hello all,

I am Western Australian.  Though I appreciate the customs laws which 
apply to our state, I don't appreciate the effect that they have on the 
possibility of attaining more easily some of the rarer and often very 
useful vegetables.  I am wondering whether there are any on this list 
who know of places in WA where I might find things like Oca, potato 
onion, yacon, true arrowroot and other things found on places like the 
greenharvest website (www.*greenharvest*.com.au).  I don't think that it 
is a matter of these things not being in WA, just that they have the 
potential to tranfer disease if they travel accross borders, though it 
may be that they are not available at all.

Thanks,

Harry Wykman
