    It's an easy mistake to make, also I'm often confused with Hugh Jackman as well. :rolleyes:

  2. I shipped my motorcycle around the world. This was back in 95 I sent it from Greece to Australia. I had to pay 26.5% of the import tax.Refundable when it leaves.theres also a fumigation insect etc cost. When I got to Melbourne they said I needed an import export form. you need to get before you Send your vehicle there.. or you can’t import it. I found an official in ACT. Who said no problem just fax me your passport and bike information. And I’ll get you the import export form. When I brought the form to customs in Melbourne. The lady at the office asked me where and how in the world I got this. And can I please give her the phone number.( This is how bad Their system is. Back then.)She said there was many people who sent motorbikes and cars there. For vacation,,Only for them to be stuck in customs and returned.. and this is doing it all pre Internet..I think I have about 10 red light camera tickets waiting for me there. I had a New York license plate in Australia. The best advice I can give you for doing anything official in Australia. Is you never ask a question. You only tell them the answers. If you ask them a question they’ll just say no. (In other words saying “ I can do that, right? “ ) . It makes them think , On the memory side. I drove my Harley Davidson around Australia. And I still have the same motorcycle. Great times . Sorry for the long rant. But it is what it is.
    here it is. Near Rockhampton . ( I think )

    We shipped @Terrordales along with the other convicts by sailboat to Oz, it didn’t cost a lot just bread and water for 3 months :thumbsup:

  4. You need to throw them high enough into the air that by the time they land the Earth has turn about half way round, then they'll land in Australia. That's what my grandfather told me. I could never get it to work, but I was never that good at throwing things.
