Please note:

This website was set up to get parcels to Australian Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Airwomen deployed overseas.

You are welcome to cut and paste information and use it to support sending parcels to our service members serving overseas, however, when you do cut and paste please link back to Ocean Sky & Khaki to acknowledge OSK, and so that people can find the blog themselves.

If there are questions one of us will answer if you comment on a post at the blog.

We hope this will be the last time for a while that we need to send packages to support our troops deployed overseas!

(Although there will always be service personnel deployed overseas for various reasons, just not in the numbers we have in one place at the moment.)
