Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Greetings As an Australian, I would prefer if you tried to ship them legally. The Australian Customs are harsh on all plants, animals, etc because we have managed to keep many diseases that affect plants and animals out, and I for one wish to keep it that way.
