- 1.2k views
This Sunday, 24th October takes the society on a "palm extreme" garden outing to the private home gardens of two of the original Aussie ratpackers, Rob Meulet and Michael Green (fm:NEWCAL). These bad boys of the Gold Coast hinterland are sure to have some wonderful palms on display after the glorious palm loving weather of late. With a bit of luck, I'll get along myself and take my trusty camera with me, so look out for some interesting topics coming your way next week. If you're interested in coming along, be warned, the day is sure to be mind blowing. PM for details.
