The weekend of 11th and 12th September 2004 was a special weekend in our history - celebrating 50 years since the establishment of the Rockhampton Orchid Society.  Visitors from as far away as Atherton and Mareeba to Brisbane attended to make this a memorable occasion.  The Anniversary Show featured over $2000 in prize money.  The social events were memorable for their quality and camaraderie.  Below and on subsequent pages is a pictorial record of some of the celebrations and show winners. Photographs by Jeff Bloxsom, Jeff Glover and Peter Shelton.
