i had met up with mrs rhonda tonkin, who run the dried flowers business since 20 years ago. and she also elected as australian rural woman of the year few years ago.
what i learn in her place is how to make the wild flowers in western australia, like banksia becomes an important material for export comodities. and in the other hand, drying process using glycerine and make a bouquette of dry flowers are nice things to be practiced in her coomberdale's farm. i did enjoy my visit :) good luck, rhonda!

in the middle of the wheat belt, full of weird n wonderful people!
