SNUFFLING TRUFFLES (Manjimup)
In forest heartland at Manjimup, The Wine & Truffle Co is stirring the pot overseas by digging up black gold (truffles). So special are these truffles - "snuffled" out by specially trained dogs from under hazelnut and oak trees - that many of France's illustrious chefs, and home-grown cooks - snap up the truffles as quickly as they are found. The on-site restaurant has a menu with a truffle flavour and hosts an annual truffle festival. Visitors book in advance to go on a truffle hunt with the dogs.
