Shipping food to Australia? Not a chance. Special permits needed. You
can't even carry it in your luggage. They have the little beagles

Suggest you find a local vendor. The climate in Queensland is similar
to much of Thailand so I suspect they'd be able to grow similar
products.

Hey Tchiowa,

Thanks for your reply mate. I didn't even consider the harsh
restrictions in place in Australian concerning the import of fruit and
vegetables etc. You're right though, I suspect we would have a very
difficult time trying to bring any foodstuffs into the country,
particularly anything fresh.

I guess I will have to search for a local vendor/distributor. Over the
years there has been an increase in the types of items from Asia we do
regularly see on the supermarket shelves thankfully. I am just
concerned about be able to obtain items in bulk. Well I suppose I can
do so will just have to make do with what we can source locally. Heck,
did you know we can even buy durians, dragonfruit, rambutans and
mangosteens at our local supermarket now...it's wonderful.

Thanks anyway Tchiowa for your input,

Kind Regards,
Brian.
