this little baby (actually not little at all and bl##dy heavy) came off a north Queensland beach, had to lug it quite some way, but the effort was worth it, makes a great display stand.

Re: scouring the beaches
Just a response on the root over rock suggestion, this rock is 35kg!!
Add a tree and some dirt and a pot, then getting it around for repotting, maintenance work etc, whooee, no thanks.
It remains a viewing stone, albeit a big one, somewhere with the bonsai's or in the garden for its foreseeable future.
Thanks for the suggestion though
