A Trip to Dean Wilson's Field.

Post by Scott Roxburgh »

So Canberra Bonsai Society is heading on a bus trip to Dean Wilson's place in the Southern Highlands NSW. It is in August so a bit late for digging maples, sooo.....

I headed out there last weekend with shovel in hand ready for some Gold Diggin' :D :D :D

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
