Dear Ferdinand,
Hope all is well state side. The Aussie Bottle National has come and gone this past weekend. Just over 3,500 folks came for a look which is a new record for the Sunshine Coast Club and unprecedented in this country at any previous National Bottle Show. Another first is for members of Federal Parliament, State Council and a Charity wishing to speak formally opening a Bottle and Collectables Show. I consider myself pretty well travelled to most world related events, but have never seen a line to get in like Saturdays…
The Sunshine Coast Club has a humble presence on Facebook where this show and previous have been recorded digitally to share. Visit and Like Page
Best Regards,
Greg Dean

Australian National Bottle Show
WOW! Bottle collecting alive & well Down Under. As a matter of fact, I keep getting vibes, indications that interest in collecting bottles in on the rise here. Women’s mags show them, Jeanine can’t keep them in her booth, “Pottery Barn” repos selling, etc.
