Toowoomba Australia Woodfest - Aug 30-Sept 5, 2006 |
| Held at the James Byrne Centre, on the crest of the Great Dividing Range (a natural bush setting). Onsite accommodations included twin bedrooms with basin, common bathroom facilities on each floor. From Sept. 6 through Sept. 21, an optional tour by rail and road visited such destinations as the Queensland gem fields, a cattle and sheep station in the outback, and the Great Barrier Reef. The trip included many opportunities to view Australian trees, and even to collect local woods. |
