The Gosford show was great. The central Coast Club's trees are always magnificent. And the display was very professional. I liked the Australiana theme in one section. I told many people about this website and several knew about it already.
I thought I'd google the site to see what came up and kept getting "Do you mean Usbonsai.com?" Has anyone else had this problem or an I doing something wrong. It's not going to look good when all these very interested people can't contact the group.

Thanks Penny! Actually only because ausbonsai.com is just a very new site so normally won't be list on google until google spiders find the site (normally it will take about a week to a month time...)....fortunately we have a fair amount of hits everyday and got some referral links from other websites so google found us just in time...that "do you mean ....." problem we all have it...i think it's because there are not many search results are actually about "ausbonsai" (pretty unique word) so google will automatically give you the suggestion (sometimes could be very helpful...) just in case you spelled the wrong words...i reckon as long as the site comes up at the first place when you search "ausbonsai" or "ausbonsai.com" and getting to the top (hopefully soon) when you search "australian native bonsai" or other aussie bonsai key words, it's great!

i searched ausbonsai this morning and that "do you mean usbonsai" now became "aus bonsai'...but, our site is at the top (for sure.........).

Again thank you very much for spotting this issue.........hopefully we will get better ranking for all different aussie bonsai related search....

The Juniper's age is 5yrs and in training 3yrs - not what the caption reads. I have about 20 more if you are not bored yet.

Hi Penny,
Thanks for these great shots! It is awesome to see the forum starting to grow. Australia has needed something like this for a long time.
Thanks goes to everyone who contributes.
Regards,
Steven
