If you really want to make a weekend of it there is Bowral on the way with their Tulip Time then Goulburn and onto Floriade. That would really fill in 2 and bit days. I have a question about our Artist that has been arranged, do we know if she can do drawings of photos as well, If we find out quick enough as our Sydney freinds driving down could bring down photo of their favourite tree as well. :cool:

Looking for something to do today? Maybe tomorrow?
Not only do you get to see a great exhibition but the Goulburn community has put on a carnival/festival out the front doors for us. For the other members of the household who have not found the light or bonsai, send them out the front where you won't be bothered checking out our bonsai or at the sales table.

I stumbled upon the Goulburn Bonsai exhibition two years ago while driving home from Sydney.
Watto greeted me at the front desk and other club members made me most welcome, if you are in the area do yourself a favour and take a look.
Those drawings are new but I have a feeling that they will be popular.

Good luck with the exhibition.
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

I made the journey down to Goulburn today and was treated to a very good display :cool: :yes: :yes:
congrats to all the members of the goulburn society as you do a great display and credit to you all.

Kirsten was there with her pencils and these drawings are even better in the flesh than in photos :-)

I picked up a Pot from Pat :lol: which is quite different to his usual cracked finish and is rather nice. dunno quite what wll go into it but I am sure I will find something :D
