I have just had a dummy run loading the car. It was easy when I had the wagon but a focus makes you think. I had no trouble with the tree's but the stands made me think.

We have managed though. so I will be there this afternoon to help set up the benches then bright and early tomorrow set up the tree's. Unfortunately I cannot get the ones I want to sell in my car, I suggested to mrs Pup we need to trade it for a Van or a ute she has not spoken to me today.

She loves her little car, the wagon was too big she said. Any way I will also be there with bells as my ears are still ringing from when I suggested it :lol: :roll:

Cheers 8-) Pup

Went yesterday and was really impressed. I unfortunately forgot my camera so I've got no pics sorry to say. I urge anyone in the vicinity to get down and check it out!...you wont be disappointed.
Some really fine trees were on display, including a few unusual species not often seen. In particular a rather elegant Ivy, Ochna serrulata...a species popular with the Vietnamese community, C.J's Teatrees and Kunzea's and of course our very own Pup's assorted mix of Natives.
Pup!. I don't suppose you've got any shots have you?. It would be a shame not to show this exhibition to "the East".....consider it a little teaser before next years National Convention.

Cheers!
Anthony ;)

Yes a great show, congrats to all involved. So many inspiring trees. Aswell as the ones Banksia mentioned , which were great there was an incredible old callistamon with amazing trunk and bark. Great miniatures (I suspect pups), nice display of suiseki and some very nice little landscapes.

Very enjoyable viewing :D

Look forward to seeing those pics, I went along early Saturday morning hoping there'd be plenty of varied stock in the sale section but didn't find that elusive Swampy. :( Had a massive night on the Friday for a mate's birthday so i was effectively seeing double the trees for free :)

Did manage to speak to Tom who sold me a 20 year old Port Jackson yesterday, i'll post it up for suggestions soon.

Thanks to the club though for a great show, there were many stunning trees on display.
