It was with some trepidation that I went to retrieve my gift from the post office. Unlike >70% of Australia's population, I live far from any city, in a very remote outback desert town and indicated that certain snack items were at risk of melting in the daily >40C heat. My Santa responded by sending me a mountain or chips, jerky and biscuits!

Tracking showed that the parcel arrived in Australia just a few days after it left the US; but it spent the next fortnight getting carted first the length, then the breadth of the continent as it got sorted to a remote postcode. The very last leg of the journey involved me flooring the accelerator to get the HUGE box home and out of the sun.

I am completely blown away by my Santa's generousity! The jerky and macaroni will be extremely handy on camping trips and the chocolate is in the freezer. I don't think I have seen any of these snacks in Australia before and will be nibbling my way through them slowly to savor every bite!

THANK YOU!!!
