We will discuss the option of blackening an area of deadwood on the trunk
I don't recall browsing this thread previously.
The Melaleuca on page 2, (first 2 pictures posted)....that is hands down 
one of the most beautiful Mels I have ever seen. I love it.

Re: Celebrate - Australia Day
Gerard,
I'd like to come along tonight and join up. Typical I haven't got any ink left in my printer to print out a membership form.
Will you have any there tonight. Thanks Adrian

Re: Celebrate - Australia Day
Fantastic night Gerard,
Very informative and inspiring. Kevin was a wealth of knowledge.
Really look forward to what's install for the upcoming year.
I'll be looking your way in the next few workshops for some advice on my natives.
Thanks Adrian

Re: Celebrate - Australia Day
Albury Wodonga club meeting falls on Australia day this year - That's tonight 
For many years our January meeting is a ficus workshop so I've packed some figs to work defoliate, prune and repot.
It is also a good time of year for other Aussie natives so I have put in a Melaleuca and a Leptospermum that need to be repotted.
