You wanted more photos. Well here is my stall set up for tomorrow at the Convention.

Lovely venue and sales and display area. the demonstration area looks great as well.

Pots start at around $28 for the smallest, colourful japanese pots right up to the biggest of the rectangular blue/green/aoiiro at over $700. There are a few grey unglazed as well; especially the ones on the top shelf; plus some shallow Literati/bunjin pots in unglazed brown, plus .......etc.

Also turntables, copper wire and Masakuni tools.

Great looking display Grant. How much is the square semi cascade pot in the second photo in the middle and would you sell it through this post?

Hi Watto, I only took my phone so I too am waiting for more photos.

The show was absolutely packed on the Saturday with about 900 people through and not many fewer on the Sunday.

It was hard to get to see them because of the crowds at times for everyone but I did get a look during the Friday night reception. The quality was very good and lots of native endemic Tasmanian plants as bonsai were used.

Massive congrats to the Tassie Team, what a dam fine show!!

Will try and get some photos up if I'm able, flat tack this week but will try my best :)

Honestly great show, came away with some beautiful pots, and even more inspiration :D

Again, big props to the tassie guys, they put on a great show, and the turn out was insane! Honestly, you couldn't walk through the show without bumping into someone with every step, think they counted 1000 ppl through the door on the first day!! So well done guys and gals :)
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!

I'll echo Jason's praise(good to meet you too by the way :yes: )

Magical spot - magical weather surprisingly for Tassie! I'm pretty sure the exhibition pulled 2000+ visitors over the 2 days. :o

Will Fletcher's nursery 'had' some awesome well priced native stock too! I say 'had' because I'm not sure what is left now after 2 bus loads of convention goers went through! :whistle:

I hardly took any photos, so cant help out there sorry....

Like everyone else I wish to congratulate the Tasmanian Clubs for a most impressive show over the weekend. It will be a hard act to follow.
Chris Xepapas & Will Fletcher maybe in need of a lot of new stock for their nurseries.Not to forget we also went to Lynne Farrell in Launceston,
then followed on to fill the gaps at Manx.

Marg & myself came home with virtually no stock. So time to come up with some new works AGAIN.
So thanks to those who supported both of us as well :clap: :clap: :clap:

Zyggy will be posting photos over the next week in 4 lots of 25 on the "Bonsai Federation of Australia Southern Bonsai" page on facebook.
