Ill keep looking

 

[Shell]

I guess maybe jewelry. It cant cost too much esp going via unregistered mail

 

[Shell]

Maybe a little silver charm. Something aussie

 

[Shell]

Igot her a tea towel (aussie made) and some other little things as a home warming present.

****ing postage cost like $25. Absolute bs.

Yep

The cost of postage in a lot of these situations is just crap and the biggest frustration when trying to send stuff overseas

 

[Shell]

Actually it wasnt just one tea towel, was a set of three.

But still.. it was pretty light.

What I'm sending over this time will be able to fit in nothing much more bigger than a business sized envelope.

It's a big chunk of anything I buy from your side of the planet, fo sho.

Ain’t no one walking with underwear that big. You’d need a crane.

 

[Shell]

What a nice sight to see when I'm eating breakfast.

I used to buy Dr Martens from the US - even with delivery it was the cheaper option compared with buying locally

Thought of another (light, small) present to send.

A calendar- I'll get some of my fave pics from the Great Barrier Reef and make them a mini calendar at Kmart.

That's a really cool idea

I came up with it when I was clearing out some rubbish, incl an old calendar which featured amazing pics of Australia. So hence thought "ill buy them a 2022 Australia calendar", no wait why not use my own pics *cough* and some taken by others on my top deck which look more professional and make them a personalized one.

Is that the couple that disappeared on a camping trip???

I believe so

The retired couple, and wasn't he having an affair where Carol was the other woman - think the first suspect was the wife but then she was cleared of involvement

 

[Shell]

Is so weird.

Like the burnt out campsite, iirc the cops said maybe they had an argument that turned ugly. Like the couple with the stranger.

When Im picking out calendars I turn to the back to see if my Birthday month picture is half decent- anyone else do this?

I always thought that. My theory on it is that he was a drone flyer. I think they found his crashed drone?
Flew his drone over a drug crop or something else dodgy. Someone obviously didn't like it.

Yes

 

[GeelongFTW]

Yes

One time my mum was complaining about her picture so I just cut out the picture so you could see the previous month instead.

Yep

I also check the Geelong Cats calendar for the following year to see who is "Mr September", because there was 2/3 years in a row where whoever was on for September was actually traded in the current year and not in the hoops for the calendar year
