The Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania is the southernmost bonsai society in Australia. The Society's website is http://www.bonsai-southern-tasmania.org.au
Members of the Society are bonsai enthusiasts in Hobart and surrounds; they range from the absolute novice through to the experienced and very talented expert.
The Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania meets monthly, on the third Tuesday of the month, from February through to November.

At the monthly meetings, members display trees and exchange ideas and advice. Often, there is also a demonstration of a particular bonsai technique.

Re: Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania - Hobart
Hi Rob,
thanks for the post, I have just moved to tasmania and I am very keen to come along to a meeting in the near future. I have been inspired by the local flora and am keen to have a go with some of the native confers. I am also keen to try with the deciduous beach northofagus gunii. I visited island bonsai this month and was very pleased to see the trees on display and the stock available!
Regards,
Jarryd.

Society's Bonsai Show a big success
The Society’s Spring Bonsai Show was held at the Rosny Barn on 19-20 October 2013.
Over 60 excellent trees were on display and attracted many positive comments from the hundreds of visitors over the weekend.
The Society holds its shows every 18 months. This year it was a spring show; the next one will be an autumn show, probably in April 2015.

Re: Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania - Hobart
Visitors to the Society's recent show voted this tree as the "Best in Show.
It is a silver banksia (Banksia marginata ). It is an Australian native. This particular tree is a small leaved, small flowered form of the species.
This specimen was grown from a cutting taken in 2001; it has been in training since 2006.

Re: Bonsai Society of Southern Tasmania - Hobart
Can any of the Tasmanian's tell me if there is a guy namded Ken McCarthy involved in the Bonsai world down that way?
I worked with him at a Military establishment in Ingleburn NSW during '84-'86 and I believe he moved to Tassie after he left the Navy. Anyone know him (or know of him)?
