Owen, You are in Tannum, go talk to the Tannum nursery for trees. They stock some starter figs,have a couple of nice root over rocks, and have a pretty good bunch of trees ready to be tortured .
I bought my willow leaf fig from Tunnum so they do get them in occasionally.

If you want GOOD bonsai matirial the ONLY way is to buy through bonsai clubs and members most clubs have members sale days.

john,

i do beleive you are correct in going through private sales and the clubs, i must say though it is possible to get good stock from nurseries albeit sometimes (mostly) overpriced for what they are.

i think if more care was taken in the stock that is getting sold the price wouldnt be so intimidating especially to new to bonsai people. i have started learning that to get good trees you have to pay for the quality, you cant expect to pay $10 bucks for something that will be good in a few years without some form of growing on and fixing of things or choping for taper etc.

JMO.

They used to import a pretty good selection of Bonsai Pots as well - and very reasonably priced.
