Exit the M7 at The Great Western Hwy instead of the M4.
Tolls are $2-$5 I think. Where abouts are you coming from?

Scratch what I said, jump on the M4 after the M7, as the M4 doesn't have a toll.

You'll have a blast mate!
Make sure you do the rounds of the nurseries on your way home.

The nurseries sell more than just trees and soil

Those azalea sao tome's were amazing! I want them!
::EDIT::
I may have stopped in at Ray Nescies on the way home and accidentally bought one of his stock Azaleas... Whoops...?

I went along yesterday and had a great time looking at the exhibits, talking to members and getting advice.
I took some photos so that I can continued to be inspired.

Yer they were very nice! Second tree my wife loved, right after the Bougy in the entry way!
I must say that I loved the display set up! The rustic look of rough wood and stone was awesome! My daughter (loving photography) went nuts taking pictures and my wife was eyeing off the bogus in the sale section.
I spent some time outside with members of the Nepean Club pruning/discussing/guiding the visitors and their purchased trees. I can clearly see the benefit of clubs...
All in all a very enjoyable experience, topped off with a visit to Leongs' Bonsai South where my wife then proceeded to try and buy $1500 worth of trees - yes, trees! Sorry Leong... May be next time...

Great Show
Seven Goulburn Club members made the trip and had a terrific time.
A goodly number of pots and a couple of trees have relocated to new homes.
Came home via Ray's filled the boot with soil and some more trees.
Congratulations to the hard working members for the most innovative setup and quality of trees displayed.

Has she tried to convince you to relocate to the east coast yet?
