Quick Postal FYI
Thought I would pass on the postal website that outlines Australian quarantine requirements. It is www.aqis.gov.au. Most things have made it through but apparently pumpkin pie spice poses a national threat, because of the cloves and allspice of course. In all seriousness, I've heard a few radio programs about some horrible bee mite that is wiping out bee populations all over the world. Bees are hard workers and help with agriculture in ways that are more obvious now that they are falling prey to this mite syndrome that is not well understood. Anyway, it hasn't hit Australia yet, so they are doing what they can to keep it out. On a related note, the honey down here is delicious, especially the leatherwood honey. Has a very distinct taste. So to bring it to full circle, no need to send us honey through the mail.
