you might want to try calling up australian customs. i'm pretty sure that's the best authority on the import/export laws in your country. just a thought. -nico-
Aussie customs are pretty rugged. A bunch of eskrimadors and jkd players from NZ went to Oz last year for the Inosanto seminars (amongt other stuff...) A couple of friends of mine got thier *wooden* training dagas confiscated out of their packed luggage (*not* carry-on) by customs, despite identifying themselves as martial artists, and having a bunch of training gear on-board (gloves, focus pads etc...) Didn't help they were heavily pierced and tattooed though... That same trip, I went to a bar in Sydney, and had to go through a metal detector. Probably not that uncommon in some countries, but quite unusual for a kiwi boy. (Didn't get my dulodulo though!)
