The fourth Bonsai by the Beach will be held at idyllic Bonny Hills (near Port Macquarie) on the last weekend of June.
This year's theme is using rocks with bonsai.
Leading the weekend are the well known and respected bonsai tutors Carole Waller (Gold Coast Tweed Bonsai Club) and Clinton Nesci (The School of Bonsai). As well as conducting bonsai workshops, Carole and Clinton will each do major bonsai demonstrations. Carole will also conduct an artificial rock making workshop. To conclude a great weekend, on Sunday afternoon they will do a critique of the trees on display.
Other activities
All Weekend: Daiza making assistance with master daiza maker George Reissus.
Tree Display: Bring one bonsai for display and optional critique by Carole and Clinton.
Trading Table: Bring bonsai and bonsai related items for sale on the trading table.

Re: Bonsai by the Beach 2017
Is the cooler weather biting yet?
Would a weekend by the beach soaking up some warmer weather appeal?
Well, consummate the temptation before 11 June 2017, when rego for this great weekend closes.
BTW: The rock making workshop is filling up . . .
