sending a present to Australia

[nanscamp]

Some of our friends are emigrating to Australia. Our group has had a collection for a present for them but we dont know what to get. We have a group photo which we would like to give them and about �200. Does anyone know the best way for them to take the photo out with them. Someone suggested Australian dollars but again, Im not sure how much money can be taken into the country. Has anyone any suggestions please.
Thanks

Hello nanscamp , are you worried about the amount of money allowed through customs and into Australia ?
The � 200 is ok , as for the photo , is it already framed or can it be rolled or flat in their luggage ?

I havent had the photo done yet. It is still on my memory card. I was going to go to one of the high street photo shops with it. The customs thing is what I was thinking of. We dont want to embarrass them by offering money but dont know what would be a practical present

Do they have a computer , ... thinking you could have the photo put onto a disk .....or perhaps onto another memory card and then get one of the card reader photo frames that slide shows pics off the memory card .

thanks bigmamma, that sounds like a good idea. we have lots of photos from our weekends away with our club. I will look into that. Thanks for your quick reply.

we emmigrated to NZ and got vouchers from friends for the local equivalent of ASDA.
It was a great idea.
