my girlfriend collects a bottle of sand every time we go on vacation. she went to the east coast of australia on a student ambassador program in high school, before she started collecting, and didn't get any sand.
i know this may sound strange but i'd pay shipping and all. I'm trying to do something different this christmas.
i figured this was the best place to turn.
cheers!

Well, it's raining like a mofo right where I am, and once again my driveway is washing away and dumping itself at the front door. Sooooooooooooo, I can send you a bottle of the average aussie driveway? It wouldn't get there before xmas though. :(
no way will it ship to you before xmas...
pass on the urine soaked sand...
anybody?

I mean might get to the beach sometime late next week but then by the time I've posted it, you'll be lucky to see it before the new year. And I'm not sure they'd let me post sand to you anyway. The list of what you can't send is way longer than the list of what you can.

Ok.
Well I'll ask at the post office today if I can post sand.
Where are you?

Sorry ihavadog, I missed your last post but seems our new honory Aussie's got it sorted for you anyway.
Sing out if you need a hand otherwise looks like it's all sorted.

Yeah, I reckon too, considering I wasn't allowed to send Tim Tams to the US.

Yeah, but will they be accepted into the US? Coz they aren't taking Tim Tams or Vegemite this week so I can't see em accepting sand. But I'll ask at the Post Office anyway.

dude, you gave a great idea! instead of neatly packing the sand, it can be scattered all over the bag......just pretend to be a messy person. and they won't suspect at thing
Well this is the thing girl. I tried a couple of weeks ago and was told that a new thing had come into effect and the FDA wasn't allowing any food items into the US. So I couldn't send the tim tams or any of the other stuff I wanted to send. But a few people have said that they've sent stuff AND that when they've asked Australia Post they don't know anything about it.
But I read the bit in the guys book at my post office and it did say no food stuff so who knows? Give it a go, see if you can post em off OR better yet don't tell em and just see what happens.

When was it love?
Coz I think this new thing came into effect on the 1st of December and I know that not all the post offices are adhering to it. Who knows maybe the guy at my PO read it all wrong but the bit he showed me kinda said no food. So I couldn't post it after that coz he knew. Next time I think I'll just sneak the bloody things into the post pack and not ask.
OH! And best you be aquiring a taste for the vegemite.

Not sure about this sand stuff now...I looked it up and it says "pure decorative sand" is permitted. Is sand from the beach pure and decorative?
Ewwww vegemite :( I like almost everything, but I just can't even stand the smell! Even my cat ran away. Tim's not even allowed to kiss me after eating it.
sand from a beautiful beach is absolutely pure and decorative....no worries if you can't do this i'll just have to take a little trip.
it's not like we're bringing in some foreign species of frog that's going to eat all the aussie crops and change the entire ecosystem
