Re: laptops??
Just be aware that if you bring laptops into Australia they will search the hard drive at customs for porn.

Ha ha! It may be a bit hard to write porn to a brand new laptop between Singapore and Australia but I suppose it could be done!
BB Passenger "I swear, it's brand new. Just bought it in Singapore" Customs "Yeah right. That's what they all say pervert." |

As if they would have the time to do that. We brought 2 laptops in and not one person even asked to look at them in addition to the external hard drives and desk top we shipped over. |

Quite a few people have been taken into the back room and had their hard drives checked... Welcome to Australia! :thumbup: Read for yourself: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...21/2905424.htm |

Actually no. Now, when you get given the customs declaration card on the plane there is a section that says "are you carrying pornography?". This was introduced about October/November last year under the radar.
