gday every one,
I am on holidays on the central coast and am hoping to be able to drop into a nursery and grab some trees before I head home back to Armidale (where its hard to find stock).
Can any one suggest a nursery to go to?
cheers
Riley

Sure. On the central coast, probably the best one to try is The Big Flower, in Ourimbah. It has all stock in 8 inch orange pots $10
Best I've ever seen for value for money and aged stock. I've picked up quite a few beauties from there over the years. They have nearly every native you can think of.

Otherwise, most nurseries on the central coast are an absolute rip off!

Just general nurseries? Or bonsai specific ones?

There isn't too much in the central coast, to my knowledge at least, but just a little further south there are quite a few like:
Bonsai Art
18 Myoora Raod, Terrey Hills
Ray Nesci
26 Sagards Rd, Dural
If they aren't too far, let me know and I can give you a few more near them.
I did find this one too, but I would call first as I've got a feeling they are now closed, just haven't had time to call them:
BIBO Bonsai Nursery
8 The Link Rd, Peats Ridge
(02) 4373 1136
There also was another store, but I've just noticed she closed on Dec 7th
