Its on today all!!!! Don't miss out on a brilliant Exhibition. For interstaters, we'll have lot of photos on the our website in the near future. For Victorian, you really must see in person.

Hope to see you there.

Scott, sorry just saw your response. Didn't have time to take photos of it and currently its on the sales bench!!! Will let you know if still available.

Thanks

I stopped by today and I can confirm that this is the best bonsai display I have seen in Australia. Its obvious that a lot of consideration has gone into the execution of the event. Rather than pack the room absolutely full of trees, the organisers seem to have limited their choices down to only the best styled and developed trees, the healthiest trees, and a diverse range of sizes and species. They have carefully arranged the display so as to really highlight each tree by using shohin trees, grasses or suiseki as accents.

If you want to see a quality exhibition, make sure you get there before it closes tomorrow because it will be another 18 months before its on again.

Well done BNW

I was first through the door this morning and was impressed by what I saw. The display was professional an elegant. It showed of the trees extremely well. Some amazing trees on display too. Some great trees up for sale too. A real credit to the N/W club for a well presented show :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

Some stunning photos, I look forward to seeing more.
It is great to see a deciduous display with such fine ramification, it's really only possible to appreciate the true beauty of such trees when they are without leaf :worship:

Thanks for posting up the photos David. There's a lot of very high-quality trees displayed. Your club's members should be very proud of themselves.
