Nepean Bonsai Show, Glenbrook, April 12

Post by hard1all »

That's right - it's back in the old venue.

Glenbrook Hall, right along from the Visitor's Centre on the Great Western Highway, Glenbrook. It's on the left-hand side of the road as you travel west. There will be plenty of signs and parking available.

Sunday, April 12th, 2015.

Wonderful opportunity to visit this show and have a day visiting the beautiful Blue Mountains.

Nepean Bonsai Society Annual show is being held back in the old venue at Glenbrook.
This year the title of the show is "The Nature of Bonsai," which will embody the feeling of the Blue Mountains with the Bonsai set up in natural bushland inspired setting, rather than traditional Japanese display.
There will be a sales area and bonsai advice and workshop.
So if you are looking for a pleasant day out in the Blue Mountains, come for a drive on Sunday 12th. April and drop in on the show and enjoy a gourmet morning tea or lunch at one of the nearby restaurants. :aussie: :aussie: :aussie:

I was recently told that if there was somewhere I wanted to go, but the GF wasn't keen, I should entice her with a conveniently located cafe or restaurant. Who'd of thought the way to a womans heart was through her stomach. :lost:

Silly question (sorry) how far away is this from Sydney? As in city centre? I'm flying in on Saturday night (11th) and will be there for the week. I have access to a car but am not used to large city driving (road-rage here we come!) but the mornings are mine (and my families)... Am hoping to be able to see something Bondai - I will be visiting Leong...


But I want more...

Exit the M7 at The Great Western Hwy instead of the M4.

Tolls are $2-$5 I think. Where abouts are you coming from?
