Ill get some photo's up as soon as I can fellas. it rained the whole 2 days but didn't deter very many people. about 300 through the door, we had 130+ bonsai on display as well as a display of miniture cactus and succulents which some would make very nice bonsai specimens and acsent plants and a nice display of ferns, bromiliads etc. by the Rockhampton Horticultural Society. It was a very successful show and every one who came commented what a great display it was.

Great to see Chris
The Bonsai movement in NQ is growing rapidly. Been to Townsville and Mackay and both involved clubs from neighbouring centres. Keep it going.
