Bought koalas in hardhats holding the flags and koalas on keychains
bought boomerang shaped keychains
bought a "supre" australian bag
bought 20 postcards for $5
and i bought australian stubbie holders

anything else i should buy?

everyone hates vegemite! nasty vile stuff!

yeah.....some sense thats overkill!

whats over kill?!?!?
vegemite is shit but marmite IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!

i'm also guna take some coins over
heard from reliable sources that the americans love different currencies so guna take some silver and gold over!

OMG VEGEMITE IS THE BOMB!!

It's the best thing since sliced bread!!! Don't diss it!

oi man hell no h2o!!!!!!

marmite totally trumps vegemite!

vegemite barely even sells here in england.

you don't need that much. you're not allowed to give things to campers (as far as i know) and not all americans will want to trade (they get it every year after all)

Don't be a downer Dan!!! There will also be heaps of other internationals at camp!!!

hahahaha i have 2 one from korea and sofie who lives in QLD

ive got loads from hungary O_o lets hope they dont speak their language all the time (they outnumbered the brits!)

Hey guys,
Aaron here, im heading off in a week and a few days to camp, so im so excited ive bought heaps of aussie souvenirs, Koala keyrings, aussie thongs, T shirts, Shorts, Towel, Hats even a green and gold cowboy hat with corks, Jacket, and well it nearly fills up my entire suit case..lol..but yeah im taking over some vegemite aswell, does anyone know if Vegemite is let through customs, are we allowed to take vegemite in?

hey aaron. yep we can take over most foods, including vegimite! just not like seeds or plants, meat, fruit etc. i think the proper info for and links for that are on ccusa forum. I dont even think u have to declare it, but to be safe i'd tick the 'i need to declare food' box thingy. I dont think it can be taken on the plane but it can be packed with ur other luggage underneath. I'd just ring ur travel agent and find out the specifics.

and dan - i was talking to a girl from my camp who's been there before and her campers were allowed to try the vegemite she brought over? i guess it depends on which camp you go to and stuff. i'd just check with the director or a supervisor or something b4 u do it.

I'm definantly bringing PROMITE cos its way better than vegemite haha altho i dont mind vegemite so i'll bring that too. I heard a lot of american camp food (and american food in general) is really sugary- like the breakfast cereals and they love cooked breakfasts every day. So just incase i get sick of it, i'm bringing my promite lol. Also probably tim-tams and some allens lollies and cadbury chocolate because i've tasted american chocolate and it tastes like vomit- lol its gross. And maybe bottled water, i hear there's isnt the nicest....but it'll be heavy- i'll just deal with it haha.

ohhhhhhhhhhh, Promite for shiz nick, couldnt forget that, way better then vegemite, yewl

hahaha i know hey! promite is SO good, cant believe they dont have it over there. shame on them haha
