CRUISE HINT: Wooden Souvenirs
When travelling to the islands in the South Pacific you will find some great souvenirs many of these being made of wood for example bow and arrows, masks etc. However not all products are able to be brought back into Australia as customs won’t allow this. So before you purchase anything, what you should check are that all wood products are fully lacquered and to look for borers or any small bugs.
