Maryborough bottle show 2005

[IRISH]

Anyone here going to the Maryborough (Victoria) bottle show ? if so how about meeting up at the show ? most of the Aussies here know each other anyway but it would be great to meet up in real life with a few forum members. I'm doing a fair bit of detecting while I'm up there (going for a few extra days) so I'll be the bloke carring around the huge gold nuggets [] (one day, maybe [] ).

The show is at the Carisbrook trotting track on the 27 & 28 of this month (August), contact Jason for more info 03 5465 3278.
It's one of my favorite shows with some of the best displays seen at a Victorian show and heaps of trade tables.

Thought I'd post a quick report on the show, a week late but better late than never [] .

Maryborough was great as usual but a bit quite for most of the sellers although there where a few who sold a lot (over AU$20000 of stuff for one bloke I was told). I bought only a few things but there was heaps of good stuff for sale. Not sure how many though the doors but there was a fair turnout.

Here are a few photo's of the show, most of the bottle photo's I took are not that good as I was only there in the morning sunday (forgot to take photo's on Saterday) and the light was not too good.
This is a bit of the trade tables
