Gday team bonsaiTALK! I've been meaning to do this for a long time, and now that I'm keeping an eye on my sleeping little angel, there is no better time than now. The aim of this thread is to compile as much information as possible regarding Bonsai in Oz, with a view to creating a useful resource for the Australian Bonsai practitoner. Bear in mind that I am in Victoria, so the bulk of the info I have provided is very VIC-centric. Please feel free to add to the thread - especially those of you outside of the Garden State. I'll periodically check that the links and info are still valid, and add new links and references as they come to hand. Thanks. Fly.

I knew I had missed a couple... I've only just skimmed the enormous list you supplied, so don't be offended when I ask whether you had been sure to include North Queensland Bonsai and Nursery there somewhere. Good work, mate! Do you know anybody that can help me collate all this? Thanks. Fly. __________________ Australian Native Plants as Bonsai Study Group ANPB Galleries --- rrr.org.au - Support Free-Range Radio

calliemichelle bonsaiTALK Craftsman Join Date: Aug-2005 Location: Brisbane North Country: Australia Posts: 59	what a great list Tai, and a great idea Fly. Could I just point out that most of the Brisbane numbers have been updated? some of them have a 3 in front of the number and as you get closer to the NSW border (gold coast) some of the numbers now have a 5 in front of them. This has been in place for some years now but I still get paperwork sent to me with the old phone numbers. Anyway a great list. I just wanted to make people aware that all these places do exist but they may have changed their numbers. have a happy day Callie

WildChild I try... I really do. Join Date: Mar-2006 Location: Western Sydney Country: Australia USDA Zone: 4 AHS Heat Zone: 10 Posts: 140	I'm a groupie of Ray Nesci. Really really great place. Anything and everything. Potensai, Cuttings, full grown bonsai, a MASSIVE collection of acessories and pots. It's great. Also, I remember seeing something on TV. It was this BUGE Bikie guy who had this bonsai nursery. He even had tats to commemorate them. Anyone know what I'm on about? __________________ "Creating bonsai is not a mechanistic process; we prune with the hand but are guided by the heart..."

Me too I can't help but like the guy. Even when he tried to pull the trident maple out of the pot it was sharing with a jap hornbeam I was buying. I just don't know what he was going to do if he got it out Maybe he was just trying to seperate them for me

I have a contact for Minwax wood hardener in Australia.

Barry Gentle,
20 O'connors Rd the Patch Vic 3792
Phone# 03) 9752 1296

Barry seems to be a busy person so don't be discouraged if your calls are not returned straight away. You might even have to remind him. Mine has cost me $33 inclusive of postage.

Diatomite wich is meant to be a great aussie growing medium
http://www.maidenwell.com/products/default.htm

also zeolite.
http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s237476.htm

Maybe to keep it a bit simple it would be best to use a link for all the clubs like the
Association of Australian Bonsai Clubs Ltd.
http://aabcltd.org/index.htm

Oh and a bonsai nursery that I have been told by a few that is better than Ray's but I havn't made it there yet.
