28 September 2008 - The
Official Opening of the NBPCA.
On a lovely sunny
spring morning hundreds of people from all over Australia gathered
together in Australia's capital city, Canberra, to witness the official
opening of the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection of Australia
(NBPCA). Many
of the trees on display had travelled thousands of kilometres across the
breadth of Australia and had also travelled many decades in time, some
being nearly sixty years in training as bonsai. Some of the invited guests
had travelled similar distances and times to witness the opening of the
collection.
