AusBonsai

Found it really tricky to book accommodation. Is something else happening in Goulburn this weekend that will make the trip doubly worthwhile?

There certainly is, the annual Lilac City Festival is on so there is a lot for visitors to see and do.
Of course the bonsai exhibition should be number one on everyone's list.

Hope all the exhibition trees are under cover. Looks like some wild weather is on its way before clearing again for the weekend.

Spent most of yesterday moving everything up Now they are in the garage my poor car has to stay outside.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Bonsai show.

See you there Sunday morning Watto.

Looking forward to,the drive up from Canberra. Lake George has plenty of water in it and the Rowes Lagoon has lots of water and water birds this year as well.

Then a nice spot of lunch and a drive back to Canberra via a different scenic route.

By the way, my Hawthorn that I dug out down your way 9 years ago is finally flowering.

Great news Grant. I will have all my Hawthorns flowering this year but now for the exhibition unfortunately. Our exhibition is real early this year so with a bit of luck, next year.

Many Thanks Rory for the info.
You should get a cut rate from Watto if you are ever lucky enough to make it down this way.

It will be good to meet you Rory.
And good to see you again Ken, its been a few months.

Well the set up is complete and everything is ready.
Look forward to two days of Bonsai, Bonsai and More Bonsai.

Just got home after a mice drive and have to say Goulbourn crew put on a very good display with some very nice trees on show.
Only problem was were going to stop off at The George IV hotel in picton for dinner, but only to find it is still closed from the floods earilier in the year! !!
