Bonsai Online
You don’t live in Melbourne Australia……well look at alternative sources including some online bonsai outlets. While these options are growing and becoming easy to access, it is not the same experience as browsing bonsai in a nursery and chatting to directly with the growers.
If you are new to bonsai and not sure what to buy, then consider the ficus ginseng as it is really great beginner plant.
