I don't personnally have any experience with them as bonsai. September 2005 I was visiting a friend in northern NSW and came across one of these trees out in the bush (they have a largeish property). I dug up 4 very small ones (about 6 inches high) which was a major effort as the ground was very rocky and clay soil. When I got home I potted them in normal 6 inch nursery pots with bonsai mix, full sun and watered every day. 2 of them died and 2 I still have. I also bought home some cuttings and I have had success with them. I have had no need to trim any at this time, however the branches do grow every which way, similar to a Lonicera nitida but not as bushy. Things are a bit hetic at the moment but as soon as time permits I will take some pics and read up on how to post them hehehe.
