Information is confusing . The above preamble indicates that the orchid society summer show is at Halls Gap but information below indicates it is in Stawell . Could you please clarify?
Also does it showcase indigenous orchids or exotic varieties?
Thank you
Hi there,
The post contains address details below the content which states that the event is held in Main Street, Stawell.

It literally says Main Street halls gap. No reference to Stawell.
Hi Andrew,
The reason there is no reference to Stawell is because the November event is held in Halls Gap.
There are two events per year, the Spring Show is held in Stawell and the Summer show in Halls Gap. Both event are run by the Stawell Orchid Society and both events fall under this “umbrella” term.
