Mark,

From what I can see seed swapping within enthusiasts is currently going on already on an ad hoc basis. The international aspect however is the stumbling point.

The organised importation of tomato seeds into Oz without permits is a very dangerous procedure that I'm sure BioSecurity Australia would not view favourably. It is one thing to get a 'birthday card' but to methodically swap seeds is fraught with danger.

In my opinion a better idea would be to organise o/s orders from suppliers as a group and get a PS Cert from them and an import permit from Oz which is not difficult and is cheap.
