As such, I stepped into the post offices in a number of places (Melbourne, Glebe, Narooma (NSW) and Bulimba (Brisbane)), packaged up my surplus belongings and mailed them back to the UK.<br /><br />Today, the last of those packages arrived; it was the one I sent from Narooma, almost four months ago. The package I sent a few days later from Bulimba (also by sea mail) arrived some two months earlier.<br /><br />No idea why. Did they end up on different ships? Was one of the ships held hostage by pirates on its way to the Suez Canal? Or did they, on a whim, send it the other way around the world?<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=acb&ditemid=512192" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://acb.dreamwidth.org/512192.html australia mail international commerce Ted & Francis - I Wish I Was Polar Bear public 0
