Congratulations to Marilyn Kremmer !

Marilyn and her story " The Hugging Tree" have been selected as the winner of the Australian Tree Stories competition 2010.  "The Hugging Tree" is a funny, heart warming tale about one woman's love for the Australian bush that has spread across generations and borders.

Marilyn is the lucky recipient of a $1000 voucher to spend at a luxurious and accredited Australian eco-resort.

Congratulations also goes out to our competition runners up :

Tracey Smith - A Tribute To Stick

Bonnie Page - The Tenacious Peach Tree

Peter Morgan - Angelina

Susi Scougall - The Agreement

Amy Hart - A Bushfire Memory

We were overwhelmed with the response to the Australian Tree Stories competition and would like to thank everyone that entered. So THANKS !

Happy hugging and remember Any Day is Tree Day.
