Enjoyable read Isabelle (not too long, and bright read) and nice to know that honesty is still in existence in some little corners of the world :-) We used to be able to leave our fromt doors open in the UK, in the 50's and even the 60's. That's our honesty box, I guess. And since the drugs came in strongly, probably after all the mines shut down (after the Iron Lady went after the mines), in the 1980's, you tend to be looked at as a fool if you expect honesty by a lot of people. Not everybody, but still, a little bit sad. Hope Oz can still retain that community honesty !

Thanks for your insights @paulpuk2000. I did wonder how many other places would have honesty boxes. They are mostly located in rural areas - I guess that is where the produce is grown but a system like this would not last in our capital cities or larger developed places. But for now - they are my source of local cheap great food!
It's a lovely service to have and the implicit honesty in the system makes one feel good about life. At peace..............
