Shheeesse 3 hours will not get me any where near the SA border or even the Nullabor. So you should jam the highways and get there.

Enjoy the week end Guys wish I was there. Cheers :D Pup

Steven wrote:Well, I've just arrived in Canberra and dropped Melaquins and my trees at the show. Met a lot of the Local crew and was able to get a sneak peak of the exhibition. The display looks great and the quality of bonsai is very high!

The drive from Sydney only took a bit over 3 hours so it would make nice day trip for all you Sydneysiders.

I'm looking forwards to a great weekend indulging in our Nation Capitals bonsai sceen.

I'll do my best to get some pictures up on Sunday evening.

Regards,
Steven
