Hi,

Sorry to hijack this thread Tribesman but I've been wondering the same sorts of questions... I am going over on a WHV and intend to try and do a season snowboarding while I'm there - however am going via the Grand Canyon and Fiji (during which I will definitely NOT appreciate having to lug my snowboarding gear with me) so I was thinking of having it shipped over once I'm there... it's only 1 box (50cmx50cmx50cm) + snowboards so not a huge amount of stuff but having just read the link that MB has given from previous discussions I am now worried that I will have to pay GST - is that correct - even though I'm over on a WHV and using the 'used' equipment in said box to help me 'work' and 'holiday'...??? Ahhh... there's so much to think about and tickets are now bought so it's starting to feel a real rush to get everything sorted and organised...
