Truffle Hunt, 2008 Season
If you're in or heading to Western Australia in June then the following information might be of interest to you. The Wine and Truffle Company is inviting interested people to join them on the "Truffle Hunt".

This information is from The Wine a Truffle Company Website:

The truffles at The Wine and Truffle Co. are located by our well-trained dogs and our experienced truffle hunters. The Dogs are able to sense truffles growing 30cm beneath the earth and a good truffle dog can locate a truffle with pin point accuracy from 50 meters away.

All visitors are now able to experience this European phenomenon in Australia by booking one of our unique, specially arranged truffle hunt packages in our productive trufferie. So with some luck and persistence, you can experience the exhilaration of finding the gourmet French black truffle and smelling its pungent and unique perfume fresh out of the ground. When you choose the luncheon package, you can also experience the mystical and tantalising flavours of this gourmet delicacy.
