Extra tucker is always welcome, as are Australian magazines. The boys like car and motorbike mags, and the usual *ahem* racier stuff like FHM, Ralph etc, but not hard core, the Ghan is a muslim country, and the troops work hard to maintain respect.<br /><br />Cuppla requests; dried mushrooms, more wasabi flavoured dried peas (!), waterless hand cleaner, and little toys to give to kids (boy stuff preferred, as it seems it is a bit taboo to give gifts to little girls, sadly).<br /><br />If you have a few grams weight short in your parcel, throw in a "Trading Post" type newspaper, any footy related stuff like the AFL "Record" or the WAFL "Budget", or whatever the Eastern Staters call "footy" stuff.<br /><br />They are a long way from home, doing a tough and thankless job, and your thoughts and gifts are deeply appreciated, as is knowing they are not forgotten. Well done.Pedro the Ignorantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006292833388885256.post-15436829805215840512009-06-05T22:20:36.950+10:002009-06-05T22:20:36.950+10:00My little Miss rang me at work this afternoon to t...My little Miss rang me at work this afternoon to tell me she'd sent her first package.<br /><br />Having read the message to 'Aunty K', i'm so proud of my little girl and i wish your nephew well, 'Aunty K'. <br /><br />cheersCarpe Jugulumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854090457226690086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006292833388885256.post-88922921359748767732009-06-05T20:11:08.453+10:002009-06-05T20:11:08.453+10:00Thanks for posting this, Kae.
