If you have any decent watches take them in hand luggage, don't put them in the container. The heat / humidity during shipping means they will all die a slow death over the following year.

Its my biggest regret... Not bringing more bananas

Down to 1.89 at my local.I'm thinking of filling the bath with them and having a good old languish.

Yeah, well they have to charge us for transporting them waaaay out here, never mind that they grow them in this state.

just had a change of plan.I might climb into the bath, fill it to the brim and then invite any game females to come find the banana.
If there's any chance of me "pulling this off"(There's bate for the carry on camping brigade) I'll probably have to use "lady fingers"

Not concerned with stuff going in container, more stuff I may need on my person. Do I need and medical records ?? dental ?? anything to help with getting a rental ??

Just trying to think outside the container !!:)

Not sure if its been mentioned or not but bring a UK 4 plug power strip or something that you can put and Australian plug on when you arrive! Much easier for charging phones/laptops etc than needing to buy lots of converters!!

I shipped all mine and wish I had one in my suitcase.....:thumbdown:

Never really carried about bananas back home that much, but it has become an obsession to see how much they are now...... $1.99kg in Coles the other day....so I just eat them now cause they are that.....:thumbsup:
