Strontium Dawg Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks to all the faces old and new that made it today. It's always great to connect with the crew face to face. We really need to be more organised and do some more actual plant swap meets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horus Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yes........plants to swap would help get the conversation among strangers flowing, it can sometimes be awkward, especially when substances are involved. Nice to see you and meet some new. Thats a seriously authentically cool machine Tony,every detail classy, yet sublime, well worth the epic decision process, Thanks for the nice weather universe x 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakazoid Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It was wonderful. Such an open, caring, sharing bunch of folks, and i had no idea Rookwood was such an interesting, beautiful place. Thanks so much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayN Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 twas fun! I agree, Rookwood is very interesting and, dare I say, kind of... surreal. Maybe its just being surrounded by so much death that i've been strangely introspective all afternoon. Certainly easy to get lost in... (I wondered if anyone saw me drive back past 10 minutes after i left ) Hope you all made it home OK. [toast?] And thanks for the beer Hillbilly - it hit the spot on such a warm spring day. (anyone else get sunburnt?) I'll post up a few photos once i've vetted them. Oh, and I didn't watch the footy after all. Shit bores me to tears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 It was a great day, awesome turn out. It was a shame I had to leave so early. Appreciated everyone's generosity around the picnic area. Next time I'll try to be less munted & more talkative, no guarantees though. Thanks to Horus for suggesting the location, great spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flux Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Awesome day for sure - still putting faces and names together a little Definitely look forward to meeting y'all again soon, getting to know folks a bit better and certainly doing some more trading And thanks Horus for sharing your knowledge of Rookwood with us. I'm inspired to go an check out Mortuary Station a little closer now too https://blog.bresicwhitney.com.au/death-and-disintegration-at-mortuary-station/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPP Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Damn, that wasn't too far from me. I've been away from here for a long time. Better keep an eye on this thread in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbleKay Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 anyone else been thinking about the next meet? i'm still pretty keen for a seed/ seedling/ plant/ swap meet. i have plenty of 4 month maidenii, rooted caapi cuttings in largish pots, 6"- 2' Rustica and a few trich seedlings, some saguaro and others... interested in pretty much anything I don't have. I like the idea of plant discussion and a swap meet would facilitate that ,) feel free to pm me if there's not too much interest in an actual meet in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Some Rustica would be great Will pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immanuel Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 This looks beautiful, thank you for sharing. I think key lies in an snowball of intention... magick is generally a stream running like the tao, and for me not something I can push so to speak.

OPP Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Ablekay- That cactus looks like some kind of Mamilaria to me. I have a similar looking one but I'm no expert....... How about a Xmas time meet up? Would be great to get out and about again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strontium Dawg Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Let's do a plant swap meet in the next month, while everyone's plants are booming. We've done a few meets lately but not many plant swaps/sales. Saturday or a Sunday should suit most people I'd imagine. Let's pick a place that's easy to park nearby so we don't have to lug boxes of plants too far. A central location where we can set up for the day and relax. I'm thinking somewhere like centennial park maybe? Or maybe a beachside location so we can have a swim or something too. What do you all think? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) I'm happy to hold the next plant swap at my house? 1 and a bit hrs from Sydney in Wollongong? Can have a BBQ lunch and a few beers without any hassles if you can handle my crazy staffy (who will go chew a bone after a while) Edited December 28, 2016 by theuserformallyknownasd00d 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strontium Dawg Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Plus the 'gong botanic gardens has a pretty nice cactus greenhouse, which is very close to the d00d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SayN Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 In for sure. And yes, plant swaps should be an important sub-theme. I've got some cacti that are overdue for a prune and others that are just in need of a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Presidente Hillbillios Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 ive never actually made it to the wollongong botanical gardens, maybe both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbleKay Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Sounds perfect, am I right in seeing there's no date yet? Anything other than Australia Day weekend would be my preference... but obviously, what ever suits the greatest good :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
