Explorers...i am looking for some assistance with a 6kg package from Tasmania to the mainland. it is 1250mm long, so wont go thru the post...wondering if anyone is planning to visit the Apple Isle or maybe a resident heading north for the winter....
Any assistance very much appreciated...If you have any ideas i havnt thought of, let em rip...im looking at $70 to courier, but am in no big rush to get it.

I work for aust post, just cause there website has limits on the length does not mean it can't be posted. I posted a knee board once. We have had surf boards ect come through the post before.

Tell the sender to dry the plants and chop them up, even mixed with toobaccy, 6 keys will fit into a half meter cubic box. LOL!!
I have someone that comes across from tassie to the mainland every 6 weeks or so. I will make a call and see if I can't get it over for you. He even goes to the gong on each trip. I will call you on your mobile, if I can make it happen.
Regards, Trevor.

If he stuffs it into a boogie board cover it is hardly noticeable.

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Don't we get warnings from the authorities about taking strange packages across the ocean???!!!

Devilish!.
And leave FNQ traffickers alone!! They have a hard enough time as it is.
Cloud cover/helicopter cover/under cover..............
Not to mention
water crossings during the Wet.
