For the last 3 years we have done a natives theme at our regular meeting (4th Monday in the month)
This year Australia Day is Saturday and our meeting happens to fall on the Australia Day Holiday Monday.
Next year (2014) Sun 26th again the Holiday Monday 27th
2015 Mon 26th will be the one where our meeting falls on the "true" Australia Day

Meeting starts at 8pm but people usually start about 7.30 where they get a chance to look at the display trees, buy sale trees, and have a chat before the meeting gets started.

Re: Celebrate - Australia Day
I have spent the morning loading my van with natives which will be for sale at dirt cheap prices tomorrow nightl
Lots of port Jackson figs, little ruby figs and leptospermuns.
This stock has come from a deceased estate and needs to be moved on. Lots of potential for group plantings.
Prices will be almost give away.

Re: Celebrate - Australia Day
Fantastic looking display and a great way to celebrate Australia Day. The BSV do put on a good show.
Really nice looking trees and some that I recognise as previously residing in WA.
You don't happen to have a better shot of the Euc on the left in your photo 015.jpg do you?
Thanks for your continual posting of pictures Gerard!
Regards,
Steven
