Many thanks Jeff....
Yes it was a big relief to see it arrive after all this time.
It may well have come via Mongolia judging by the condition
of the poster tube... Both ends were caved in and the tube
itself had been crushed and bent...
Thankfully the poster was not seriously damaged other
than maybe a crease here and there.
There were no stamps or markings other than a sticker
from Australian customs stating that they had received
the tube in that condition and that they had done their
best to repair it so that it could continue on its way to me.
Bit of a botched job on the repair if you ask me, if you call
a bit of tape 'repair work'....
Just happy to have it safely at home...
