Hey guys, Just thought that i would let you know that you should send the drum and any other wooden artifacts that you pick up on your travels home BEFORE you hit Australian customs as very often they are confiscated.

You may be able to have customs hold the items for you until you depart Austrlia, but as you will be flying out of a diff state that wont work. I would hate to think that you would loose your special momentos

Just an FYI, wanted to share a opinion we did this week for Huffington Post (please feel free to cross-post) about our travels in Lilongwe, Mozambique. We blog everyday from all over Africa at a website call Border Jumpers (http://www.borderjumpers.org) and for the Worldwatch Institute's Nourishing the Planet (http://blogs.worldwatch.org/nourishingtheplanet/). Here is the link: "1,000 Words About Mozambique" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bernard-pollack/1000-words-about-mozambiq_b_476747.html All the best, Bernard Pollack and Danielle Nierenberg
