Very true, Mick, although I hope something can be done to improve the lighting this year particularly in the sales area.

Hey,

I just noticed thats my Corky Bark elm being used on the Ausbonsai ad for the show. Cool.

I must admit though that I was not completely happy with it last year and I tweaked it a bit this year and will keep on tweaking it till I get it right..

If you missed it on Australia Day, make sure you see it on Sunday and Monday of the long weekend in October.
There will be 3 major demonstrations on each day plus Bonsai experts working on their own Bonsai and giving advice on your Bonsai.
Cheers, jonden

Good Morning

Have already warned the family that next Sunday is fully booked.

Was wandering who is scheduled to do the demos at the show and what venders will be selling their goods.

Thanks
