Corky bark elm
I Was in Brisbane recently and visited a bonsai nursery as I'm sure we all do when travelling. Because my brother lives there and I intend to move back this year I picked up this tree and have left it with him to look after until I get back. It looked to have good potential with movement down low and good root spread.
I plan to keep it shohin size, first priority is to keep it alive.

Definitely a good starter. Hope your brother looks after it well and keeps it alive.
p.s. Good choice of lifestyle moving up here.

Re: Corky bark elm
Spent most of my life up there, not sure how the trees I will bring up from down here will fair though. I was surprised by the number of Maples that were for sale at the nursery. From what I understand they don't go very well in that climate.
