I might be able to help you out on that question ( ), but I can't help you with anything else on your list. I hear, too, that the Featherston Cache has now all been sold, do you know anything about that?

I think trades will become much harder now following recent developments in the South Is. Every firearm part and accessory now requires an Import Permit and the permits are no longer processed by your local AO. Instead they are being sent to a centralised office in Wgtn, and the backlog for Permit approvals is running into months. I don't think that anyone realised quite the workload that the changes would create.
