Are they afraid of drugs being smuggled in. Ok it's burnt, so bacteria and pathogens are at minimum. Dennis quoted Ramadan or maybe that was a pause in shipping. I understand fruit and live stock or untreated products but, charcoal is one thing I felt that was out of the sphere. Is it an agreement between countries within trade laws? It can be shipped to AU but only by the container full.. It's classified as semi-Hazardous so it can't be sent LCL (less than a container load) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine a container holds a vast amount of charcoal. 14 hours ago, DennisLinkletter said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hammo that 32' looks amazing. Well done on pulling the trigger. I'm getting excited for you. What's the ETA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammo1981 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Just a quick update. I'm just about to head off to go and pick up my Cobalt Blue 32. Cleared customs and quarantine yesterday. I'll post some road trip photos when I get the chance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammo1981 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 So I picked up my new grill just after 1.30pm from the warehouse. Was a decent sized depot so I didn't have to back up the trailer...phew. strapped it down then headed back towards Gympie where I'll be staying for the night. Weather forecast for tomorrow is showers, so I packed in a Tarpaulin to cover my precious cargo. Early rise tomorrow so I can get home. It's been a long day. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I like it. Going and fetching your KK is a great way to avoid all the hassle of waiting on a delivery company to get it to you when they say they will. I bet you'll be up at dawn to drive that baby home. Good luck! Looking forward to the pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Practice, practice for backing up them trailers, everythings the opposite of nature. Nice adventure ride, the open road and with a big present to open later plus it's sitting on a fine galvanized trailer/throne, oh happy day.

Nice adventure ride, the open road and with a big present to open later plus it's sitting on a fine galvanized trailer/throne, oh happy day. I'm not too bad with the trailer, I can't do it like my father/brother in law who have to back back trailers precisely on the back of 52 seat busses. The father in law was supposed to be on the trip with me, but they are too busy with charter work for the defense force at the moment. Would have been good to have the help strapping down the load etc but I managed. If anyone is considering picking up their KK like I did, do contact me for advice. I would have done a few things better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
