Carole Waller judged the Exhibition trees in 2016, and there are around a dozen videos critiquing some of the trees. (Many of them are Aussie Natives.)

Thanks Mel,
The native raft you mention is a real Humdinger!!

Thanks for posting Mel, interesting and great insight for what the judges are looking for, enjoyed that...cheers

Cheers KCAR, it surely is, and looks even better today! I'll see if I can get a more recent shot of it..

It is interesting to hear what judges look for, isn't it Anthony!

I really appreciate the effort Carole went to for this judging.

Thanks Mel ,some lovely trees. The Raft is pretty special.....Cheers John.

Yes great respect to the judges and to a after talk on them that is know easy feat either, fantastic....may I ask which bonsai areas Carole is from...I m in my own little world here Mel lol..cheers

Cheers John, agree the raft is special!

Anthony, Carole is currently the President of the Gold Coast Tweed Bonsai club, she lives in the hinterland.

Thanks Mel, beautiful country...cheers

Yes, thanks for sharing MelB, the native raft is beautiful in its simplicity and it conveys a landscape wonderfully well. As Carol indicates - good trees, groups, landscapes transport you to another place. Very cool.

Cheers Mark, the raft continues to win prizes!

Thanks Mel, some stunning trees there. Very interesting critic and good hints on how to better display trees by tilting and changing angles.
Cheers

Hey there KIRKY, Carole is the ducks guts, imho.

Great saying this! Only in our lingo could this be viewed a wonderful compliment - which it is! Imagination the difficultly in translating some of our sayings. [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]
