Dolly, I was in a complete panic when we arrived in Melbourne and even saw a quarantine sniffer dog walking around the airport. I threw away everything except for a pack of gum (I asked the quarantine officer if it would be OK to keep it and she said it was fine!!!!) It's really terrifying. I think I'd be more afraid of bringing in a banana than a kilo of coke LOL I don't blame them though; they've been burned so badly in the past that it makes sense to be extremely careful.

The shipper did put a number sticker on each box/bed part/shelving unit that they packed, but what's in the boxes is anybody's guess! There will be some indication by what we've written on the outside of the boxes "shoes" "clothes" "bathroom" "kitchen" etc, but unless I can actually see the boxes in order to put the number of the box with what I think is probably inside of it, there's no way I can do them correctly by number.
Plus, the shipper decided that some of the boxes were too small and would have to go into a large shipping box, so I'm not sure what's in that big box either! arrrggghhhh...

At any rate, I haven't received the documentation from the shipper on this end yet, so I'm going to call her and ask her where it is.

thanks for your help
