The Darling Downs is unique in its position and altitude in Queensland, as we have four distinct seasons. For this reason we can grow many species of trees not usually encountered in Queensland. From tropicals through to many temperate loving species not usually encountered this far north.

Should be a great bonsai weekend coming up.
The trees that I have seen so far look fantastic and temperatures should be in the low to mid-twenties with clear skies.
See you there.

Hi forum colleagues and fellow bonsai addicts
We're looking forward to seeing any forum members there. We've all been working up our plants for some months now and we hope to put on a worthwhile display for the punters.
Toowoomba is particularly beautiful this season with the recent rains and the place is bursting with Spring.
Cheers to you all
Stewart

Now that was a great day of bonsai. Some fantastic trees, we have every thing from white pine through to tropicals. Be quick tomorrow the sales area has been decimated, we will have a restock tomorrow morning though.
Photos to follow.
See you there.

Greetings,
The Toowoomba mob always put on a good show.
We spent the day in the Garden City, watched the parade, had lunch in an airconditioned pub, walked about lost looking for the massed flower beds and then nearly missed the show as "Sally Satilite" insisted on taking us across the washed out bridge.
All the trees were well presented and loved.
I have some photos but will need to shrink them to post.
See you at Bill's bash on October 8th.
Check the address.
Happy bonsai,
Bruce.

Here are a couple of photos.
We only have two trophies up for grabs, the Chairperson's Award and the People's Choice Award.
Enjoy.
